The link-up will give Collida, a Willmott Dixon company, access to Architype's award-winning Passivhaus design and technical capability to help drive its Living platform, which seeks to develop a new generation of sustainable homes that enable local authorities, registered providers and developers to respond to the climate emergency and meet the UK’s net zero commitments.
Collida Living aims to delivers up to 90% lower running costs for residents compared to the average family home, whilst achieving 20% lower embodied carbon against LETI benchmarks – all delivered through the use of factory-manufactured MMC solutions.

To achieve this, Collida uses market-leading digital configuration software to deliver a suite of mixed-tenure houses and apartments to suit every layout option. It provides internal flexibility with rapid design options so that each development can be tailored to suit local community needs.
Tim Carey, Chief Product Officer for Collida: "Sustainability is one of Collida's key values, and we are passionate about delivering net zero carbon homes with integrity. We were drawn to Architype because of their shared values and Passivhaus expertise, which is a rigorous standard for carbon reduction. With the potential cost of retrofitting even recently built homes up to five times higher than doing the right thing now, Collida is committed to solutions that drive exemplar standards in both sustainable design and installation today."
