At the recent Scottish Design Awards Urban Realm caught up with architect Gokay Deveci, designer of the UK’s first low cost Passivhaus accredited home.

Deveci said: “The house tried to address 21st century issues. One of low carbon, low energy use as one of the first Passivhaus standard schemes in the UK.

“This is achieved in a low cost category which makes it more interesting and exciting for everyone but it also shows that the design is replicable and not just about being Passivhaus but actually making a good stock of housing for the future.

“None of us really understood the journey we were taking, including the builder but we had a wonderful client which really helped.”
