Highland Passive House

Highland Passive House is a Hudson Valley-based home staging and design center led by Cathy Hobbs, an Emmy-award-winning designer and nationally recognized home staging expert. The business specializes in staging homes for sale, furnishing and designing vacation homes, and creating short-term rental spaces that attract bookings. Beyond staging and design services, Highland Passive House operates as a comprehensive resource for the industry. They maintain one of the Hudson Valley's largest furniture rental inventories, offering pieces suitable for everything from farmhouses to apartments and country retreats. Their approach emphasizes personalized styling that highlights each property's unique features to create "scroll stopping" listings. The company also provides receiving, storage, and logistics support for design professionals and builders. They offer trade pricing on curated furniture, décor, rugs, lighting, and short-term rental supplies to trade professionals including architects, designers, agents, and stagers. The physical location itself is notable: Highland Passive House operates from the first multi-use passive warehouse in North America, certified by the Passive House Institute and built to net-zero energy standards. Whether clients need full furnishing for a vacation property, staging for sale, or short-term rental design, the business handles sourcing, procurement, and design execution with an emphasis on quality and value.
