31 OSTRO PASSIVHAUS, KIPPEN (UNITED KINGDOM) This passive house built in Kippen near Stirling in Scotland is exemplary for its low energy consumption thanks to an original construction method known as a “box within a box.” The building’s inner box contains all the wet services (water and fluids), connections, and air flows. The rooms are designed as spaces between the inner and outer boxes. The outer box is a rain screen of timber cladding with triple-glazing openings that are vertically oriented and perforated along a north-south axis. The weathered wood cladding reflects the forest the house faces. KIPPEN DISCOVER all the project photos in our online magazine Constructing a sustainable future
