Solar passive Canberra home designs

Our houses harness the power of the sun to create comfortable, energy-efficient living spaces. Each design is carefully crafted to maximise natural heating and cooling, reducing your energy bills and ensuring a home that’s healthy and comfortable all year round.

  • Designs tailored for north, south, east, and west-facing blocks

  • Strategic orientation to capture winter sun and block summer heat

  • Thermal mass materials to store and release heat

  • Carefully placed windows for optimal natural light and ventilation

  • Insulation and shading elements for year-round comfort

All of these designs are flexible. Prefer a larger garage? No problem. Need an additional bedroom? Easily done.
