We are very excited to announce that our next Pulse Nova Scotia will be an in-person tour of Halifax’s first Passive House Retrofit, the conversion of an 1850s era home into the new studio space of the Habit Studio team. Lorrie Rand will lead you on a tour of the newly retrofitted Habit Studio after the final phase of construction of this very special project, discussing the construction details and lessons learned.
