Sitting peacefully in an open field, this off-the-grid sustainable house captures the views without compromising on environmental performance. Located at Franklinford in Victoria’s Central Highlands, the four-bedroom home is shared between two families, providing a gathering place for the extended family and a place to relax and relish the joys of rural life.
Smart House is a renovation and extension to a two-bedroom single-fronted timber Victorian cottage in inner Melbourne. It utilises a wide range of social, healthy, environmental and passive solar design principles and products to create a high-level environmentally sustainable home
i29 interior architects worked on the interior of a eco-villa which was designed by Paul de Ruiter architects. A minimal approach to the materialisation and detailing of the building is a core value of both the interior and exterior design.
This is a great result when we consider that they use electricity for their heating and cooling and the house is frequently occupied all day as one of the owners works from home regularly. This is a testament to the original brief and vision and everyday living of our clients and the benefits of carefully selected active technology systems designed in conjunction with passive solar design for natural heating and cooling.
