Positioned to capture sweeping views over Pleasant Valley, this future-focused home operates completely off grid, powered by a comprehensive solar system with diesel generator back-up that provides resilience and energy security. Thermal performance is central to the design. Polished-concrete floors are hydronically heated for energy-efficient warmth with the use of concrete extending to the kitchen benchtops for durability and longevity.

Two generous living areas provide flexibility for both family living and entertaining, each oriented to frame the views. Beneath ceilings lined in plywood, to bring interest to this elevation, generous glazing invites natural light deep into the home and creates a seamless relationship between interior spaces and the landscape beyond. Clean lines, quality materials and meticulous detailing are evident throughout the three bedroom residence.

Natural wool carpets provide a renewable, biodegradable flooring option that supports healthy indoor air quality, while macrocarpa cladding offers a durable, locally appropriate timber solution. Throughout construction, waste was carefully sorted and recycled wherever possible. Together these strategies demonstrate a holistic commitment to sustainability, delivering a high-performance, low-impact home that is a testament to thoughtful design and skilled construction.
