Creating Comfortable Feeling Spaces With A Small Environmental Footprint

These multi dwellings are beautifully-designed, living spaces 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 dual occupancy 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:

• a 2500 litres rainwater tank for toilet and garden
• thermal comfortable external and internal walls
• double glazed windows and doors
