Homes should be comfortable, healthy, and built to last.
But in Australia? They’re usually not.
That’s why we’re building one of the highest performing homes in the Illawarra, and giving you a front-row-seat to the ins-and-outs.
Join The Passivhaus Project
Get behind-the-scenes (and behind the walls) as we build one of Australia’s healthiest and most comfortable homes.
One build. One year. One email per month.
Living in a house that stays naturally warm in winter and cool in summer, with hardly any energy use
Picture this…
Never worrying about the threat of mould or dust allergens lurking in every corner
and this…
and if you can, even this…
Building a house that doesn’t leak, fall apart, or need a ‘minor’ renovation in 10-15 years
That’s life in a Passivhaus.
And right now, we’re building one in the Illawarra.
But this isn’t just about one house.
It’s about knowing we all deserve a home that’s better for our health, for our families, and for the wellbeing of the planet.
So we’re inviting you in.
