Valo
About This Home
The Valo from Scandinavian Homes is a 185 m² four-bedroom model built to A-rated and Passive House standards for the Irish market. Its most immediately striking feature is the full-height glazing, which brings natural light deep into the plan and gives the home a contemporary presence that is rare in closed-panel timber builds. Triple-glazed windows, high-performance insulation, and an air-to-water heat pump handle the thermal performance.
The ground floor layout includes an option for a ground-level bedroom, giving it flexibility for households with accessibility needs. Factory-built panels ensure quality control during production and allow rapid on-site assembly. Solar panel compatibility and smart home integration are available. A strong option for buyers who want Passive House credentials with an architectural finish rather than a standard box.
What We Love
Full-height glazing in a Passive House-standard closed-panel build is a technically demanding combination, and Scandinavian Homes deliver it without compromising the thermal performance. The result is one of the most light-filled homes in this range.
