What an amazing property! But more so an amazing home! Passive and eco in every sense. The simple design and minimalist approach works so well. Yet it is a family home. With the foresight of " apartment" within for whatever the future holds. Also with climate change, this property is capable of dealing with all weather conditions. Brilliant! Thank you for sharing.

So glad you liked the home. Indeed it is weather and future-proof. It’s amazing how warm it was inside on a cloudy winter day. Thanks for watching!

Great to see Perth based projects

Looks amazing! Even better if you planted a few trees that will bring you habitat and shade and will bring the house to life.

Great looking home and congrats to you for doing it right. I love the simplicity of the structure yet the Beauty of the design. Nice work.

Large roof over hangs are beautiful and protect the doors, windows and siding from rain and moisture damage. Water is the enemy of buildings. Architects and home builders need to bring back large roof over hangs

It’s mind-boggling how so many houses were built without any shading for decades. Just because verandas were suddenly not fashionable anymore.

That house should be toastie in Winter then! I wish more houses were built to higher specifications.

how much?

If you live in an area subject to high winds, hurricanes or tornados a concrete or cbs build is preferred. Are there efficient homes using this material?

@ProjectifiAU

Ай бұрын

Absolutely, material choices must be based on the particulars of the location. The biggest energy wasters are always the roof, the doors and windows.

Nice house. The plot is of course small, 1000 m2, 10 acres is for a house of 80 - 100m2. I would like to see the engineering part. The construction of the foundation and walls, as well as their thermal insulation.

Why avoid steel?

@theleanarchitect

Steel has high embodied carbon and acts like a thermal bridge, reducing comfort and energy efficiency. It is also costly and slows down the build process.

You can’t grow steel or concrete.

I like that he talked about how bad steel is, then we get to see the entire house is literally incased in steel panels... but you know, the beams aren't made from steel so its fine. hahaha

@theleanarchitect

There is a big difference in the embodied energy and lifecycle cost of light gauge steel cladding vs heavy structural steel beams. The corrugated steel cladding provides a lifetime of maintenance free protection to the home, compared to a painted alternative.

Every home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels. Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it. We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes. It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity. the future is electric. Wind and solar energy along with electric vehicles are the future. Stop using fossil fuels. There is a climate crisis.
