Net Zero Project
Off-grid, passive solar design and built to Passive Haus standards Design by: plotnonplot
Kris and his team are skilled and caring pros. They approach their work with integrity and pride (and a healthy sprinkling of humour).

We hired Dwellings because of Kris Bailey's experience with sustainable builds and timber-framing. Throughout the design process, we discussed ways to lower our environmental footprint and….The result is a Net-Zero, foam-free, all-electric home designed and built on Passive House principles.
Our experience with Dwellings exceeded our expectations, and we are now proud owners of a beautifully crafted, energy-efficient home that reflects Kris's dedication to quality and the environment.

this was a positive experience on all levels. My family was delighted that the addition was closed in from the elements before winter with a minimum of inconvenience. The resulting structure is substantially better than my original plan thanks to Kris’ advice and the crew’s attention to detail. I think it can be honestly said that we all had some fun on this build. Twelve months after first sitting down with Kris, we have our addition, warm, full of light, and we have three new friends. There is more to do in 2024 as we need to make a few changes to the original house. I will have no hesitation in calling Kris back when the time comes.

“Kris and his team were a delight to work with. From noodling on concepts and design, to a spotless worksite and superb craftsmanship, the whole project went very well. As proud of the result as if I’d built it myself!”-Greg Johnson
