The Ascot Passivhaus
Experience
Stay in a Certified Passive House and discover the difference for yourself. Meet with the designer and Master Builder, Allan Hocking, to gain valuable insight into what makes Passive House living so energy-efficient, comfortable, quiet, and healthy. Learn about the benefits of filtered fresh air—no mould, no moisture issues, just better living.
This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a chance to experience it firsthand and take that knowledge back to your own project. Whether you’re a homeowner, architect, designer, builder, or tradesperson, staying here will help you understand what Passivhaus really means—and why it matters.
Explore the home, ask questions, and see what works for you. During your stay, you’ll receive a guided tour of the house with clear explanations of the design and building process. You’ll leave with real-world understanding, ready to discuss and design better buildings.
You’ll experience the demonstration of a Passivhaus—not a display home designed to sell you a vision, or a quick walk-through where you never feel how the space lives. And it’s not just a short-term rental for a country escape either. This is a truly immersive experience. We want you to leave refreshed, inspired by what’s possible, full of ideas for your own build, and re-energised by the comfort and quality of Passivhaus living.
The Ascot Passivhaus blends Passivhaus and Passive Solar principles with thoughtful construction and climate-smart design. From thermal mass to airtight layers and triple-glazed windows—every detail has a purpose.
