LEAP | Mark Siddall

Through his architectural practice LEAP (www.leap4.it), Mark supports self-build and renovation and raises standards of sustainable urban design by enhancing the immediate setting of a site, being sensitive to the defining characteristics of the local area and reflecting high standards in architecture. He creates homes and communities on complex rural sites and in conservation areas. Most clients want homes to be designed to the Passivhaus Standard or the AECB Silver Standard. In 2015 Steel Farm, a house designed by Mark, became the first privately owned Certified Passivhaus in the North East of England. The house won the small projects category at the UK Passivhaus Awards and is featured in an online documentary. You can watch the documentary at www.PassivhausSecrets.co.uk
