2019 Passivhaus Student Competition Winners

Passivhaus Student Competition 2019

Striving to get sustainability taught as standard rather than a specialism, The Passivhaus Student competition, sponsored by Tarmac, is now in its 4th year.  As well as meet Passivhaus Standard, students are tasked with assessing material choices and how their designs impact on the wider context. After an accumulation of Passivhaus tutors, informative seminars, software tutorials, inspiring study tours, and exhibitions, a new cohort of winning designs is on display.

And the 2019 winners are….

Mealan: Versatile food hub

Winner: Latifa Mohammed, Oxford Brookes

The Hub is a street food market and a learning, cultural hub with staff and students’ accommodation designed to meet Passivhaus Standard. Vertical timber shading screens combine with living walls to generate a patterned facade. Judges were impressed with how the building relates to the site, a clear Passivhaus strategy and design development addressing fenestration and shading.

Passivhaus Student Competition 2019 Commended: PIAZZA FLUENTE

Piazza Fluente

Commended: Katie de Silva, Oxford Brookes

Drawing inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci and strengthening Milan’s cultural identity as a driving force of the New Renaissance, this active museum celebrates the spectacle of a working waterwheel that hopes to improve the efficiency of the 304 solar panels above. A hugely complex design, but judges found the creative concept interesting.
