Designed by Towle Spurring Hardy architects, the design for this modern passive house was to look as traditional as possible in its stunning rural Oxfordshire location.
Aluminium clad oak products were used extensively to create the stunning internal visuals. The resulting air tests produced 0.45 aph and the house, which has no heating, still provides a truly unique and comfortable living experience.

Unmistakably trusted.
The highest compliment is a recommendation. These are the voices of those who placed their trust in us.
“Having used Norrsken in the past we were happy to recommend them to one of our clients who was looking for the best sound proofing and weatherproofing they could get being set on a hill top overlooking the sea and facing strong westerly winds. They were not disappointed. A quality product, delivered well and on time. Thankyou.”
Ken Pearson
Homeowner
"I did my research before contacting Norrsken but they had come highly recommended by our Architect for our Passive House self build.
From the first meeting with Nick we felt confident that they were the Company for us."
Ali and Brian Manning
Homeowners
"Fantastic professional service, from the original design to the final installation. The triple-glazed windows and doors that have been fitted to our new house are of a very high quality and look amazing. We definitely made the right choice when we decided to use Norrsken, nothing is too much trouble for them."
Nigel
Homeowner
"Excellent Company from start to finish… If only every window supplier operated like this! I have used many others over the years on various projects but Norrsken far exceeded all of them… I hope this helps you make a decision for what is probably a large chunk of your budget… They are totally worth it"
