Architecture studio Kjellgren kaminsky and their client Emrahus have presented Sweden's first series of prefabricated passive houses at the Hem & Villa housing fair in Malmö from March 6 to March 9.

Passive houses are extremely well-insulated buildings that are largely heated by the energy already present in the building - people and our household equipment generate a lot of energy.

Did you know that you can lower your energy consumption by placing bookshelves and wardrobes by the facade? They will work as an extra layer of insulation and save both energy and money. Thats why all the storage are placed along the facades in this house.

Between the shelves and wardrobes there are high windows giving contact to the nature outside and letting in light.
