At first glance it’s clear that this is no ordinary home. Not only does it blend perfectly into the natural contours of its pastoral setting, this residence meets the rigorous standards required of an eHaus Euro PassivHaus. The four-bedroom home is designed for a growing family, who have the pleasure of enjoying a constantly comfortable living environment that requires minimal energy input. Meeting stringent International Passive House standards meant thermal modelling, airtight construction methods, high levels of insulation, European Wood Alu triple-glazed joinery, and a mechanical heat recovery ventilation and filtration system. With solar panels, a Tesla battery and an EV charging station, this home is extremely energy efficient as well as extremely comfortable. The handsome exterior features cedar weatherboard cladding, white bricks and dark aluminium louvres that screen gables above the portico and outdoor living areas. Out here, a built-in fireplace encourages year round entertaining, or simply relaxing. Inside, feature wallpaper, custom lighting and joinery catch the eye. A closer look reveals another detail— a folding desk hides a wall-bed for staying guests.
