Home » Luxury Passive Houses
All of these things are possible thanks to the unique technology through which our homes are made.
We build houses anywhere in UK or Europe , wherever you have land.
Several options are available , such as : swimming pool, jacuzzis, fitness room, sauna, bioclimatic pergola and garage.
We can build any model , whether it’s a ground floor house or a ground floor + 1 floor, but only with this modern architectural design and a flat roof ( we do not build classic pitched roof houses ).
The company that owns the Holmann brand was founded in 1994 in Romania , near Brasov, and produced steel boilers for heating homes ( Termofarc brand , Farkas boilers), as well as other steel products and metal structures . But for the company ‘s founder , engineer Alpár Farkas , building a house was something he had long dreamed of .
He dreamed of building houses that could be built faster, easier than a house made of concrete , but at least as good . Built entirely in a factory, in a more controlled environment than on a construction site. Brick and concrete houses are still basically made with almost the same technology today as they were 100 years ago . Just as cars are completely different from those of 50 years ago , why would we think that houses ca n’t be built differently today with modern technology ? It took a while from the idea to the realization, but it worked, and that ‘s how the luxury, passive houses of the Holmann brand appeared .
The feeling that the Holmann House will create for its residents will be exactly the same as a new concrete – brick house , only more energy- efficient and comfortable. It will also have a modern and non-conformist appearance . We mainly use aluminum-polyethylene composite (Alucobond type), but we also use HPL (high-pressure laminated sheet) or fiber cement sheets (Equitone type). The Alucobond type composite consists of thin aluminum sheets on both sides and a hard polyethylene core . It is light , rigid, easy to shape , corrosion – resistant and recyclable . Architects , designers and building owners are still impressed by these extraordinary properties.
In consultation with the architect, we offer the customer the opportunity to design the exterior of the house . There are many composite panels , such as Alucobond in various colors or in imitation of wood, marble, stone . We can also install additional elements made of natural stone , stainless steel or plants ( natural or imitation ) on the exterior of the house.
To finish classic houses is a wet material that flows and can leave irreparable stains on the pavement and other objects when applied . After application , it can peel off over time , crack, turn black from rainwater, change color from UV radiation , is difficult to repair ( even if you know the code , you ca n’t get the same color ), and cannot be washed. That’s why quality buildings , such as luxury hotels , institutions or banks , are coated from the outside with these materials we use, even if their cost is much higher . We almost never use any wet materials when building a house . Similarly , avoid tiling outdoor patios with tiles , as these will loosen over time from freeze-thaw cycles.

A passive house, as defined by the Passivhaus Institute, is an extremely energy- efficient , comfortable , yet affordable house that provides a comfortable indoor climate in both winter and summer , without a traditional heating source.
Energy efficiency is very important in a home because over time, for example after 20 years , the energy costs of a non – energy -efficient home can generate huge costs , easily regaining the value of the home . If you and your family live in such a house, you can enjoy great benefits , such as excellent insulation , ventilation and natural light , weather resistance , and low or zero maintenance costs .
The passive house standard requires at least the following performances :
Maximum 10 W/m2 constant temperature .
of 15 kWh/m2 per year is required for space heating .
annual energy requirement of 42 kWh/m2 .
Although the initial investment may be higher than for other types of buildings , these costs are amortized over a few years through low or zero energy and maintenance bills
