100% affordable housing development in east London has delivered 65 homes designed to meet Passivhaus Classic standards

Levitt Bernstein has completed Plashet Road, the first Passivhaus-certified social housing project to be delivered by the London Borough of Newham. The development provides 65 homes, 74% of which are family units, and includes a nursery intended to serve the wider community.

Designed to meet Passivhaus Classic standards, the scheme aims to support low-carbon living by optimising natural ventilation and daylight through dual- and triple-aspect layouts. Newham Council describes the project as part of its wider ambitions to reduce carbon emissions while addressing housing demand.
