TRAIT norrenberg & somers

Description: After having build and renovated individual and collective housing, we have concentred our activity into school, training center and nursery projects.

We have always payed attention to energy savings and to the use of healthy materials. Our sensibility to sustainability and to the well-being of users is the motor of all our projects.

The increasing concern of Public Authorities for sustainable development allows us nowadays to defend and share our ideas, to go further together. Our aim is to ensure savings thanks to the application of the Passive House Standard and to the use of green energies.

Frank Norrenberg and Pierre Somers are both certified “PASSIVE HOUSE DESIGNER” by the PASSIVHAUS INSTITUT of Darmstadt.
