Sa Haus- Kent, UK

In Orpington, Kent, United Kingdom, the Sa Haus stands out for its sleek, modern design from the inside out. Designed by AV Architects, this captivating single-family home showcases the use of Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) for sustainability and architectural elegance.

The Sa Haus employed the Nudura Plus Series to enhance thermal performance with ICFs’ proven design versatility and aesthetic potential. This project demonstrates how ICFs can be successfully clad in various materials, from traditional brick on the lower level to smooth colored finishes on the upper floors.
Nudura was also used for the comprehensive environmental strategy of Sa Haus, which also integrated passive cooling systems, photovoltaics and an electric car charging port.

These features ensure that the home minimizes its carbon footprint and achieves high energy efficiency, earning a B rating (86) on the UK Government Energy Performance Certificate.

The construction of Sa Haus garnered significant attention from the community, inspiring other local projects to consider ICF construction.
