We design and build Award-Winning energy efficient homes in the Blue Mountains Australia
The original house was demolished, with minimal disturbance to the land, and a new 300m2 energy efficient home built. Passive house features in a Bushfire Flamezone BALFZ required smart design and use of materials. With a steep slope, this is a clever split level design which is solar passive and allows the sun the warm the home in winter and block it out during summer. The north facing design with glazing on the north gives it natural light all year round.
This home was a knockdown rebuild. Damir’s philosophy is to build healthy, comfortable and durable homes that will last 100 years. Total home is 400 m2 (House 223, Garage decks patio 114m2, Studio 63m2)
