Passive House Apartments

July 4, 2025

This award winning project, recently named ‘the UK’s most sustainable residential new build’ by the International Property Awards is a stunning design from renowned architects Gale & Snowden.

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"

Angela Smith

Homeowner

“From our very first interaction to the aftercare support, Norrsken has been exceptional. The quality of their windows is outstanding - beautifully designed, expertly crafted, and a real standout feature in our home. They've truly elevated the overall look and feel of the house.”
