Sharing our newest high-performance design, coming to South Frontenac, Ontario.
This home was designed around the site. South Frontenac means Canadian Shield bedrock, mature mixed forest, and a climate that demands a building envelope that actually performs. The response is a single-storey contemporary form with an expansive glazing wall oriented to the south-east, capturing views of the lake while picking up passive solar heating through the colder months. A continuous clerestory above brings daylight deep into the plan and supports natural ventilation. To the west, a three-season room is attached to the home but separated from the conditioned envelope, extending the usable living space without compromising the thermal performance of the main building. Double stud walls and deep parallel chord roof trusses give this envelope the depth needed to hit insulation levels well beyond code, keeping energy loads low without chasing a certification.

Not every homeowner wants what the next subdivision is selling. Some people have a specific vision, a home that performs differently, sits differently on the land, and reflects how they actually want to live.
That's the kind of work we do.
HP Home Design is a small boutique design firm working with clients across Ontario on custom homes, high-performance builds, and Passive House projects. Work that requires more thought than a standard plan set.
If you're in the early stages of planning something outside the ordinary, we're worth a conversation.

HP Home Design is committed to being Northern Ontario's Passive House leader.
​After months of design and data crunching, seeing this project in construction is incredible, especially because we are hitting targets way lower than designed. Passive House standard is 0.6ACH and at mid construction the home is at 0.37ACH (Air Changes per Hour). By final construction the home will be much lower!

​A high-performance build takes a high-performance team. Thanks to all involved for the hard work!
