Thornleigh
Sydney’s first certified Passive House. This compact two-storey home replaces a defunct cottage. Nestled in between a busy road, a magnificent tallowwood and a train line the home will offer a haven of peace and quiet.
PassivLaneway
This compact granny flat sits atop an elegant garage on a discreet laneway on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. A tightly manipulated building envelope ensured Council compliance on a tight site.
Ballina Passive House
Located in Northern New South Wales near the Richmond River in Ballina, Australia, certified, classic passive house has endured the recent rains and flooding in the area (March 2022). A boldly presented dwelling on a heptagonal site nestles in the cul-de-sac, proudly providing an exemplar of a high-performance building to the local community.
Sapphire
Sapphire a certified passive house located on a large bush property in the Blue Mountains. Nestled among World Heritage-listed wilderness, the design aims to strike a delicate balance between the environment and the elements, maintaining connection to the landscape while providing protection from the region’s cold winters and hot summers.
PurePassiv
PurePassiv is a pure expression of high-performance design. A street-to-north orientation will see the front yard dominated by food producing raised garden beds in front of an optimised façade that captures just enough solar heat for winter warmth. Located in the Northern Sydney suburb of Asquith, the design approach follows the simplicity of Passive House with simple geometry and optimised window openings yet also challenges the conventions of window placement.
PassivCourtyard
This home breaks all the passivhaus rules; poor orientation, sprawling form, complex roofs, too much volume; yet it works like a charm! It is a demonstration of passivhaus at its best, performance driven design showing that, in the right hands, passivhaus is a flexible, adaptable standard that can deliver healthy, comfortable buildings on ‘imperfect’ sites.
