Creating Comfortable Feeling Spaces with a small environmental footprint

Built on lower North Shore Sydney, the modern family home is a beautifully-designed, living space with cutting-edge environmental features that met BASIX (the NSW Government's Building Sustainability Index) and NatHERS (The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) requirements – long before it went into effect. This project demonstrates how a single dwelling 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 Model. 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:

• a 6000 litres rainwater tank for garden, toilets and laundry
• thermal comfortable external and internal walls
• double glazed windows and doors
• energy efficient lightings
