building science optimised design

Imagine living in a building that keeps you warm and cosy all winter, without running the heater. A home that’s quiet, free of draughts, mould and dust, costs very little to run and reduces your carbon footprint. 

Leanhaus strikes the perfect balance between design, quality and cost. We deliver high performance Architecture for less by following lean construction and design principles.

Passivhaus optimised, Leanhaus provide genuine solutions towards a net zero carbon future

energy efficient

Passivhaus is the leading standard on energy savings worldwide. Energy savings amount to 90% in comparison with current building standards. We achieve this enormous energy conservation through scientific design optimisation, special energy efficient building elements and ventilation techniques. 

healthy

Air pollution indoors can be up to 5x worse than outdoors. Dust, mould, expired air, CO2 and contaminants from cooking all create an indoor environment that contributes to allergies, asthma and sleep disturbance.  Leanhaus homes provide a constant supply of fresh, filtered and preconditioned air that is better quality than outdoor.

comfortable

Comfort in a Leanhaus is perceptibly improved by designing with consideration to air temperatures, surface temperatures, draughts and relative humidity. The home benefits from a relatively constant internal temperature that is well within the human comfort range. A constant supply of fresh air ensures CO2 concentration is within recommended limits.

 

up to 92% carbon reduction against benchmarks.

Ben Caine
Founder, Architect

Leanhaus was founded by Architect Ben Caine in 2017 after a career in top commercial design, construction and development firms.

Frustrated with the prevailing idea that Architecture should be highly specific, bespoke and complex, Ben saw potential in the practice of performance based design that leveraged building science with lean design and construction.

We believe that by focussing on simplicity, adaptability and affordability, more people can benefit from sustainable and healthy buildings.
