A Shining Example of Beattie’s Commitment to the Passivhaus Standard
Quayside Passive House, located on the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is a contemporary 2-bedroom replacement dwelling. Designed to Passivhaus standard, Quayside will deliver optimal energy performance and a harmonious integration with its unique riverfront setting.
Quayside Passive House has been meticulously designed by NJ Architects to seamlessly blend with its surroundings. The use of brick, timber, and zinc not only complements the riverfront location, but also enhances the visual appeal of the dwelling. The careful selection of materials and the thoughtfully crafted design illustrate how Quayside’s scale effectively harmonises with the existing buildings in the vicinity, creating a cohesive and visually appealing community.
At the heart of Quayside’s construction is Beattie’s Passivhaus Certified Build System, which is instrumental in achieving the gold standard for energy efficient design. The timber frame, coupled with continuous insulation, not only ensures a robust and durable structure, but also results in a low embodied carbon footprint. This commitment to sustainability aligns with Beattie’s vision of providing low operation energy solutions for modern living.
Quayside’s construction emphasises a low embodied carbon approach, reflecting our dedication to minimising environmental impact. The timber frame and continuous insulation work in tandem to create an energy efficient envelope. This contributes to a comfortable and sustainable living space. By adopting Passivhaus principles, Quayside promises reduced energy consumption and a minimal ecological footprint. It will set new standards for responsible and eco-friendly construction.
Situated on the picturesque River Deben, Quayside will offer its residents superb views and a unique connection with nature. The thoughtful placement of windows and open spaces maximises natural light. It creates a bright and inviting interior that complements the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Quayside is a shining example of Beattie’s commitment to the Passivhaus standard – the gold standard for energy efficient buildings. By embracing Passivhaus principles, Quayside not only ensures the highest level of energy performance but also prioritises the creation of comfortable, healthy and sustainable living spaces.
Beattie built our Passivhaus home and we couldn’t be happier with both the process and our new home. From day one, their team was professional, honest, and diligent, and it was clear they genuinely cared about getting it right for us.
What impressed us the most was their personal approach. They listened carefully to what we wanted, communicated clearly throughout, and when we hit the inevitable challenges that come with any build, they were able to think outside the box where required to achieve the best outcome. This gave us real confidence that our home was in safe hands.
The quality of workmanship is exceptional, and the team on site were reliable, skilled, and took pride in what they were building. Achieving Passivhaus standards requires real attention to detail, but they delivered it at a price that was genuinely competitive – we didn’t feel we were paying a premium for the performance.
We now have a beautiful, comfortable Passivhaus home that performs exactly as promised. We’d happily recommend Beattie to anyone who wants technical expertise combined with a builder who genuinely cares about the end result.
