A 14 yr old sustainably built house demonstrating most of the accepted passive design principles of the time, such as northth orientation, good insulation, double glazing, and thermal mass. It’s a healthy, low toxin and recycled build and family friendly design with open plan and central kitchen and hearth.
It shows features that worked well and those that didn’t, and some that they have added along the way, such as PV and skylights. Great perspective from folks living in a sustainable home for over a decade!

Project Short Story:
Middle aged couple (with 2 young boys) who were tired of our old house. Our best friends are architects, inspiring us to want more out of our house. We rebuilt from an old timber and iron rental property, right next door to Ali’s grandpa. Eight years in the planning, one year in the making we now have our own grand design.
