The beauty is in the balance!

This project began with a serious investigation into whether the existing home was viable for retrofit and renovation. However, the construction, age, and orientation of the house (on a perfectly oriented block) was truly limiting, and the decision to rebuild was carefully made.

This new build demonstrates a ‘sweet spot’ approach; high quality flexible space over cheap sprawl, and performance on balance/optimised with cost-effectiveness. Excellent execution and optimisation of standard detailing results in notable performance, which we’re passionate about celebrating!

The result is an 8 star EER family home, 139m2 of house (3 bedroom, 2 bathroom) + flexible loft space, air-leakage tested to 3.6 permeability m³/h/m², built for $760k.
