Who We Are
Founded by Matt Noades in 2016, Noades Architects brings 20 years experience of residential architecture to clients in Gerrards Cross and the area. With a local understanding of the features that make Gerrards Cross special – the Noades team enjoy working with this collection of high-end private housing started in the early 20th Century, which has become a sought-after haven in Buckinghamshire, close to the beautiful AONB Chilterns.
Passivehaus Certified
This sought-after standard relates to the design and construction of homes that are exceptionally energy-efficient. This results in a home that is both comfortable and requires minimal energy to run. Sometimes referred to as Passive House, the standards required are tightly controlled by the Passivhaus-Institut in Germany. Studies show that houses built to this standard require only a fraction of the energy to heat that typical houses in the UK require, and considerably less than a typical new-build house.
