To celebrate the pioneering development, the special launch event on January 25 will be hosted by George Clarke, renowned architect and television presenter of Amazing Spaces.

The homes meet the rigorous Passive House standard, ensuring they require minimal energy for heating and cooling, maximizing thermal comfort while drastically reducing carbon emissions.

The homes are specifically designed to eliminate fuel poverty, providing substantial energy savings for residents and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Beyond energy efficiency, Pure Haus says their homes are built to enhance the well-being of residents.

These eco-friendly properties include advanced air filtration systems, high-quality insulation, and sustainable building materials that promote a healthier living environment.

The homes minimize exposure to pollutants, allergens, and dampness, reducing energy costs and improving the overall health and comfort of residents.

Kevin Pratt, Director of Pure Haus, said: “These homes aren’t just built for today, they are designed for the future.

“Pure Haus is showing us what is possible—how we can eliminate fuel poverty, make our communities healthier and leave a legacy that will benefit generations to come. This is the future of homebuilding.”

“As we move into a time when climate action is not optional, but a responsibility, Pure Haus is forging a path to a better future.

“This is just the beginning of what can be achieved when we combine innovation with sustainability.”

Mr Pratt said that the four main benefits of the eco-friendly homes are low energy bills, reducing impact of climate change, fostering better health solutiona and reducing noise pollution.

“Someone told me ‘It’s like living in a bunker’ because you don’t hear anything from outside. It’s juf something you have to experience.”
