This picturesque kit house takes on the intimacy and spirit of the archetypal woodland cottage. Its steep roof makes it very suitable for densely wooded areas in cold climates with heavy snow loads. A number of other construction techniques and Passive House technologies bring the Hansel & Gretel cottage well into the 21st Century. 

 

A direct air supply fireplace running up through the double high space, a fresh air energy recovery system, and strategically placed windows ensure continuous warmth and high indoor air quality. Perfect for small families, it includes a full master bedroom, three-fixture bath, and a sleeping loft for two children or guests.
