We collaborate with sophisticated clients and select builders to deliver high performance design with cost and time certainty

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

Ben took on a demanding brief and a challenging site, and produced a clever, practical design in an efficient and affordable manner, whilst satisfying complex planning criteria and delivering Passivhaus performance. The finished residence is a healthy, comfortable and wonderful place to call home.

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.
