The first residents have moved into Camden’s Agar Grove, the biggest Passivhaus housing development in the UK. Max Fordham, working with architects Hawkins Brown, Mae, and Architype, provided sustainability, M&E and Passivhaus services at the site.
When it is finished, the development will include 355 homes designed and built to the standard, including an 18-storey tower.
Max Fordham did design-stage Passivhaus modelling for the first two phases up to tender, including summer comfort modelling and design of a super-low-loss communal heating system. Post-tender, the consultant advised on MEP detailed design, commissioning and post-occupancy monitoring.
