Conclusion This project seeks to combine the technical functional and aesthetics parameters in an energy passive housing complex. Although the process has not always been easy, it is still the conclusion that the project combines all three parameters into an integrated and thought through project. The technical aspects have highly influenced the overall design of the form, faรงade and plan solution. Through the process technical aspects such as building orientation, building surface, window area, heat capacity, solar gain, thermal comfort, and ventilation have been of major concern, in order to assure a building that fulfils the passive house standard.

Functionally the demands of a Danish family have been one of the highest priorities within the given boundaries, in order to give the family functionality throughout a lifetime. We can conclude that the functional demands put up in the analysis and through the process are clearly fulfilled, although a 90 net m2 apartment is not a lot of space for 4 people in comparison to the increasing demands for larger apartments that we see from our analyses of the future tendencies for homes.

From an aesthetic point of view the relation to the site has been valuable both for the design of the buildings and the design of the space between the buildings. Although the aesthetic parameter is not playing a primary role, the buildings are still well integrated into the aesthetic of the site. Thereby we can finally conclude that we have succeeded in making a project that can be certified as a passive house. The qualities of the site and buildings also seem to meet the requirements of the typical Danish family over a lifetime. Finally the site and the building preserve the spirit of the site and continue the specific wild and raw feeling to the site.
