View Haus 5, Seattle’s first Passive House-constructed townhome community and our second Passive House project has earned certification from the Passive House Institute US (PHIUS). With one unit certified, each View Haus 5 unit was constructed to meet the astringent guidelines of the PHIUS providing healthier indoor air, thermal comfort, and a lower carbon footprint – not to mention lower energy bills.

Designed by the award-winning b9 Architects, View Haus 5 is aptly named for its five distinct home designs that share views of the Cascade Mountains. Homes built to Passive House standards consume 80-90% less heating energy than traditionally built homes.
