Plus House is an ultra-innovative contemporary home, designed to showcase our sustainability and performance approach.
The striking modern design of the Plus House is very eye-catching in its location alongside Saint-Gobain brand Brødrene Dahl’s Competence Centre for renewable energy and ventilation. The house is used as a showcase for the products presented in the centre.
