Norwich City Council's Goldsmith Street development of 60 flats and 45 houses is aiming to become the UK's largest certified Passivhaus scheme.
Designed by Mikhail Riches, following an international RIBA competition, the project is now under construction with Passivhaus specialists R G Carter as main contractor, PHT member Cygnum supplying the timber frame, and PHT Patron member WARM acting as Passivhaus consultants.
The Green Register in partnership with Mikhail Riches invite you on a site visit, including a presentation with Q&A from the team and a tour of the dwellings under construction. Delegates will be shown houses at all stages of development, demonstrating how Passivhaus principles are incorporated from ground works through to practical completion.
