Our client saw a unique chance to shape her future by subdividing a block in West Beach, designing and building her forever home right next door to her close friend. Her vision went far beyond standard modern design, she sought an ecologically responsible, Certified Passivhaus tailored specifically for ageing-in-place, prioritising lifelong independence and everyday comfort.
At the heart of the home is an unwavering commitment to health and thermal performance. Built to certified Passivhaus standards, it maintains a stable, draught-free indoor temperature year-round, achieving an exceptional result of 0.56 air changes per hour. A robust 13.2kW solar array paired with battery storage and EV charging capabilities pairs ultra-low operating costs with sustainable, forward-thinking energy independence.
Generously proportioned wet areas provide effortless accessibility with a disability-conscious design. Fully integrated with provisions for potential live-in care down the road, this home is a sanctuary built for a lifetime of ease and comfort.
