On a hidden Burradoo half-acre, combining passive design with a light-filled, contemporary aesthetic, this generously sized passivhaus epitomises sustainability. Designed and owned by the Creative Director of STUDIOAM, it is warm, intelligent and beautiful family living.
The home's many integrated features include:
Energy Efficiency & Sustainability: Phenomenally energy efficient, the owners report an approximate 90% reduction in utility bills from their previous homes, despite the absence of solar panels.
Constant temperatures without heating or cooling systems are achieved via a Heat Recovery Ventilation System, triple glazing, comprehensive insulation and thermal mass, including extra-thick polished concrete floors featuring stunning exposed aggregate. In summer, the home maximises cross flow ventilation.
Kitchen and Living Spaces: The spacious kitchen is Australian designed, sustainable 'Paperock', and features a large butler's pantry and a Steel Ascot double oven (commercial capacity).
Meticulously designed, the large open-plan living and dining area, and the cosy family room have been built to maximise light and the flourishing green views. Internal walls are a combination of recycled brick and sustainably sourced hoop pine plywood, adding to the sense of handcrafted, natural artistry that is seen throughout.
A beautiful detached barn-style garage/studio provides additional designed amenity and is currently used as guest accommodation.
Gardens: Extensive deciduous tree planting (part of the intricate system of temperature control and energy efficiency) will continue to provide privacy as the garden matures. Drought-tolerant plants abound. Enclosed exterior spaces and extensive use of Silvertop Ash decking provide a thoughtful blending of indoor and outdoor living.
Other features:
• All fittings and fixtures have superior environmental credentials
• HRV system creates pure filtered air; no allergens or condensation; no mould can grow
• Logikhaus doors and tilt and turn windows for air-tight thermal efficiency, zero maintenance, acoustic and temperature protection
