Bozeman Passive House / Love Schack Architecture

Bozeman Passive Haus is the highest-performing single-family home in Montana’s Gallatin Valley, setting a new standard for high-performance single-family homes in the region. This project was driven by the client’s commitment to sustainability, which is integrated into every aspect of the home’s design and function. The goal was to create an exceptionally efficient and resilient home by employing Passive House principles. As experts in Passive House design, Love Schack Architecture designed a sustainable oasis in harsh rural Montana winters. This approach resulted in a highly insulated and airtight building envelope, which ensures stable indoor temperatures and significantly reduces the load on mechanical systems. The Bozeman Passive House maintained comfortable indoor conditions even during extreme 30-degree temperatures, despite the mechanical systems being turned off.
