Creating Comfortable Feeling Spaces With A Small Environmental Footprint

Built at the lower North Shore of NSW,t, the modern family home  is a beautifully-designed, living space with cutting-edge environmental features that met NatHERS (The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) requirements – long before it went into effect. This project demonstrates how an alteration and addition can be designed with the environment in mind, providing better living standards and value for residents. It is integrated with the sloping land in split-level form to use the site most efficiently and create generous feeling spaces.

Certified Energy provided with the client a suite of consultancy services involving BASIX, NatHERS and Thermal Comfort Simulation. Our professionals ensured maximum savings and minimum energy use, thereby allowing for cost effective yet sustainable solutions.

The home includes a range of sustainable design features:

• energy efficient lightings
• composting toilets
• 100% permeable site surfaces
