Sustainability
Sustainability is not an afterthought, it is a foundational principle that informs every project we undertake. We are committed to crafting homes that stand the test of time, not only in their aesthetic and structural quality but also in their minimal environmental impact.
Building Better, Naturally
At Haus, sustainability is woven into the fabric of our design and construction philosophy. We believe that building responsibly doesn’t mean compromising on quality or aesthetics. Instead, it offers an opportunity to create homes that are healthier, more comfortable, and enduringly beautiful.
Our Approach
We prioritise the use of natural, renewable materials, such as timber and wood fibre insulation, which not only provide excellent thermal performance but also support a healthier indoor environment. To ensure the integrity of the building fabric, we integrate specific high-quality membranes at each layer of the build.
These membranes work in combination with the breathable nature of wood fibre insulation to regulate humidity levels and reduce the risk of condensation, thereby extending the life of the structure and improving comfort internally.
Moreover, wood fibre insulation is a carbon-negative material, sequestering CO₂ during the growth of the trees from which it is made. By choosing these materials and building systems, we’re not just reducing emissions—we’re actively removing carbon from the atmosphere while constructing buildings that are resilient, efficient and healthy.
Flexibility in Practice
While our commitment to sustainability is strong, we understand that each project is unique. We work closely with our clients to balance environmental considerations with budgetary and practical requirements. Whether it’s a fully sustainable build or a project where sustainable elements are incorporated where feasible, our goal is to deliver exceptional results that align with our clients’ values and needs.
