Architect Designs a Small Home with a Sustainable and Timeliness Interior Design (House Tour)
Passionate about creating a small home that considers a sustainable future, Marc and Felicity Bernstein at Hütt Homes collaborated with Blum to bring functionality into their family’s sustainable home. From the exterior of the small home, the architecture considers brick and concrete as main elements of the design, while the interior uses timber as a key material to minimise the home’s carbon footprint. Utilising an open plan approach in the small home allows for a connection to the rear and first-floor gardens. Throughout the residence, a sense of communal living has been infused alongside sustainable elements.
In the sunken living room - where the sense of the communal spirit of the small home is evoked - the surrounding timber edges allow for extra seating for larger gatherings. At the other end of the house, the kitchen and dining room showcase the collaboration with Blum through storage units and cupboards. Helping to provide functionality, organisation and ergonomics while increasing the home's passive living, Blum specified products such as the LEGRABOX in the kitchen and first-floor bedrooms to enhance storage and aesthetic function.
Moving upstairs to the private spaces, Blum has assisted with the home’s organisation and ergonomics with floor-to-ceiling cupboards in the master to staircase storage systems in the children’s rooms. Additionally, a net has been installed in the children’s rooms, hanging over the ground level and allowing for extra play space without taking away from liveable areas. Further assisting with the passive living of the home, a garden has been installed on the first level and a living green wall in the bathroom adds a natural flow of oxygen. Continuing the importance of indoor air quality, a mechanical heat recovery system has been installed to capture fresh air and remove any stale air. Furthermore, a heat exchanger allows for temperature stability all year while maintaining energy efficiency.
Throughout the small home, an emphasis on creating a carbon neutral project is referenced in the architecture and interior design choices. From the use of timber to the living green wall and connections to the gardens, sustainability is the key focus of Blum and Hütt Homes' collaboration. An inspiration for upcoming architects and designers to think and design responsibly, TMRW Home is a responsible family residence that considers the present and the future.

Amazing what a crap ton of money can get you for a home, ehh?
Love how they’ve used a plot of land that many others would have ignored. And they’ve planned the home so well within the tight space, making it feel so much bigger and spacious

and, it's perfect that it's a passive house - the airtightness also leads to sound isolation from outside, which the plot absolutely requires. I bet you would go nuts living in a regular house that close to the tracks but I am certain that they don't hear it at all

Pride in a home is a given, but it's wonderful to see homeowners as in love with their house as we viewers are.
This is one of the best houses I have seen, a living accessible work of art. All the different dynamics they were able to combine in this project is masterful.
This home is both stunning but also so smart. Great job guys!

We also invested in Blum product for our renovation last year and we haven’t looked back. It was worth every penny. What a joy to open and close cabinetry and drawers with a light touch. If you can’t quite afford Blum just now, wait and save, or even invest piece by piece. It really is next level.
So great hearing from the owners and how they actually live in the space, really helps tell the story of the entire home :) Truly a "smart" home , and beautiful as well :)
I love ,love ,love a sunken living room. Beautiful home. ENJOY!
For those interested in the construction of this beautiful home, it is followed by Grand Designs Australia, season 9 episode 8.
💚 Great to see Marc and Felicity’s vision realised after a challenging building process. This is only the beginning for their dream of creating a more sustainable future for all.
Amazing window views bring a lot of beautiful and dramatic light into the calming indoors!❤️
Building a better future for everyone - well done Marc and Felicity for daring to dream of a more sustainable way to live and build 💚
Dan Preston is the best Local Project videographer, always look forward to these!
I love blum, they found a way to marry push to open and soft close.
Tranquil as can be next to train tracks.
I always loved these loft, A frame type of houses, and the position of the work desk is just amazing, can't wait.
The home is quite peaceful and beautiful. It is amazing that it can be so tranquil next to the train tracks. I love the ideas they shared regarding the benefits of a passive house. I was glad to see that open windows are part of the concept. Love the look of your home!
Creativity is a thoughtful process.
That interior details in this house are exquisite! ❤️

Still my most favourite house, clever design, nice people ❤
I love houses with interior structures that make them more unique and interesting - like here with the two steps down to the living room, the nets as the ceiling, and the different levels in the kid's room. It is also wonderfully alive and cosy with the interior materials used. I really love that house. And it's sustainable, too!
As every building should be!
Wow !! What a beautiful living space....

This is such a beautiful house. I love the design, layout functionality. Depending on where the houses are, I always find it strange to have a dark outer surface. I know the black is sleek but sometimes too many houses with black outer surface just makes the house hot. So you will then have to incorporate more cooling and ventilation system.
In this short video and in this small house you can discuss so many amazing topics, congratulations on the thoughtful design!
Casa muy bien resuelta. Compacta, práctica y divertida. El exterior negro me encanta y el almacenaje.
Stunning and truly inspiring...modern and relaxing and that kitchen...Wow
Wonderful cabinet functionality.
awesome! so happy to see local project emphasizing sustainable projects! thank you
Love it! It's beautiful, simple, absolutely functional and tailored to their lifestyle, very thoughtfully designed... that's some great architecture right there! Personally I think I wouldn't want to live right next to the train tracks, but I appreciate that they went for a plot that would otherwise remain unused and made the absolute best of it.

I am interessted in the plans of the architecture!

The house is actually huge and is nicely shading out the neighbors 😊
Beautiful and simple

Stunning! My partner and I are about to move into a larger home and I love a few things in your home that I may steal for us once we get settled. Love the plant wall in the bathroom especially.

I love this home. Wish you could design me a home similar to this in the USA Detroit Metro area, Only smaller because I am only one older person. I love the living room, kitchen, bedroom with roof garden,the bathroom and outdoor garden as well. So well done. Only negative for me is I love a fire stove to cook on.
What a truly inspirational house ❤ Bravo!
Awesome project, beautiful home, and certified passive house - really cool. I love it :-)
The use of space that this house uses is amazing, I wonder how loud the train is being that they're literally right next to the tracks?
nice home.

It would be nice to see a quick walkthrough of the floor plans
It's a beautiful home. I especially love the 70's inspired (and I mean that in the best possible way!), sunken sofa area! One thing I personally don't like, is the closeness of the train tracks. I am not worried about the noise, some people get used to it, others don't. But the "fine" dust wrecks havoc on your body, especially on lungs/airways. I assume you have some good filters installed, so hopefully that helps. Having lived close to train tracks, like this, has caused me some serious, life long, health issues. I had no clue, when I moved there (just how bad it would be), and I was poor, so I had no other choice.. But hopefully it isn't as bad in this area! Thank you for sharing though, the house is beautiful!
love this
awareness in that subject is interesting 😘from the Philippines 😘🤞✌️💓💕

I guess everyone has their own definition of the words, small house. Maybe on a small land space would have been a more accurate title for the vid. Beautiful home & thank you for the vid.
Bellissima!

Was there a reason the external walls and roof were painted black and not a cooler colour to reflect the heat of the sun? Otherwise great looking project making the most of a tricky/unique site!
Love this house! I wanna build my house like this too! 👐
