Michelle Kaufmann is reporting about the "Passive House" designed by PARAVANT ARCHITEKTUR

Quote from Michelle Kaufman: "... , “Passive House"  designed by Paravant is elegant and beautiful, as well as efficient. It utilizes passive design components and techniques that allow the warmth from the sun during the winter but not the summer. I love the sliding screen over the winter garden and the courtyard."
