This project shows that a home filled with architectural character can also deliver outstanding energy performance.
Built in 2020 for an interstate client, it proved that distance doesn’t stand in the way of a positive and collaborative building journey.
Designed to embrace its coastal setting, the home achieves 3.94 air changes per hour, striking the right balance between airtightness and fresh airflow, complemented by natural sea breezes. The thermal mass in the slab helps regulate temperature year-round – keeping the home warm in winter and cool through summer.
As part of a creative arts village, the design also needed to respect its community and natural surroundings. With careful consideration, the home sits comfortably within the landscape while still standing out as a unique and inspiring residence.
