- Medium Passivehouse (1,600 – 2,200 sq ft)

Our Model Home – The Pine Valley
The new EkoModel Home will be a 1,600 sq ft bungalow with adjacent coach house/garage. We’ve added both to our Energy Efficient House Plans!
Our new model home in Dunrobin, West Ottawa is complete and we had a first open house in June 2022.
