Inside and out, this is a complete “green” house. Designed using Passive House methodology with energy consultant CTI, the house achieves 70% better energy performance than a new built-to-code house, while stylishly fitting the block. Walls and roofs were constructed from 12” Structural Insulated Panels, and triple-glazed Loewen windows completed the high-performance thermal package. Materials and fixtures were selected for efficiency, recycled content, local production, non-toxicity, and durability. Landscape design uses native plantings, a water garden, and permeable paving. As an all-electric house, it uses heat pumps for space conditioning and water heating, and features a pellet stove for supplemental space heating.

The Magpies are delighted! This stunning project is nestled in the South Australian country township of Willunga, whose name is derived from the Aboriginal word meaning “The locality of green trees”. During the course of the renovations a family of 11 magpies swooped in and now call this abundantly treed property ‘Home’. The clever design frames the natural views to the north, uninhibited by the alfresco structure. Passive solar design methodology is employed by utilising optimal eaves overhang allowing warming winter sun to penetrate into the interior of the building, whilst excluding the harsh rays during summer. A blending of the old and new help to keep a sense of history whilst combining a modern, natural feel with a semi industrial working space. Bringing the outdoors in by maximising the views of the abundant vegetation and birdlife is a feature of this addition. Well known local identities, and the owners of this spectacular building, are now enjoying their lifestyle passion for preparing food and entertaining in this enlarged, purpose built space…. As are their fine feathered friends.

This is a private residence that was constructed primarily of “uncut sticks” which utilized the standard length framing members, i.e. stud wall lumber. What’s unique about this method is that they were designed and nailed into place without cutting them and were cut only to frame windows and doors. The dimensions of the framing members as found in the lumber yard determined the height, width and depth of this design. The design approach is derived from the project developer’s request to implement cost savings methodologies that would allow custom, modern architecture that competes in price with the neo-colonial builder grade homes in the surrounding suburban neighborhood. To do this, he needed to build at the same price point as the comparable builder grade homes. Another benefit to this approach saved a significant amount of time in constructing the home. By not requiring the carpenters to trim all the framing members to meet predetermined dimensions, they were able to complete their work by carrying in two arms all of the leftover lumber remaining on the house. By eliminating construction waste and reducing labor, the project was able to achieve significant savings.
