Our mission: Raising the standard of homes
The Fold designs, builds and brings to market certified Passivhaus and ultra low carbon homes.
Our homes are thoughtfully, architecturally designed and we adopt an uncompromising approach to building physics to benefit homeowners and the planet.
We reject an artificial divide between rigorous environmental engineering and beautiful, exceptional residential design.
At The Fold, certified Passivhaus standards and ultra low embodied carbon design are not optional upgrades; they are our baseline.
We believe a home should sit subtly in the landscape, tread lightly on the earth and endure for generations.
Traditional housing often traps moisture, circulates pollutants and fluctuates between winter chills and summer overheating.
For decades, residential development has settled for compliance over performance. Buildings leak energy, rely on carbon heavy materials and lock homeowners into decades of escalating running costs and poor indoor health.
The Fold’s certified Passivhaus and low embodied carbon homes:
Need virtually no heating
Stay naturally cool in Summer
Support homeowner health by providing continuous, filtered fresh air
Control humidity at optimum levels
Provide restorative acoustic quiet for tranquil living
Regulate the indoor climate to promote sleep and wellbeing
Lessen climate change exposure and anticipate building regulation shifts
At The Fold we believe that everyone deserves a living environment like this.
