Details

Positioned on a challenging 581m² block in a quiet Northcote cul-de-sac, this new build exemplifies smart spatial planning and refined sustainable design.

Clad in a balanced mix of blackbutt timber, textured brick and earthy green tones, the home blends seamlessly into its setting—offering both privacy and connection to the landscape.

The floorplan strategically places bedrooms and living areas along the site’s flanks, optimising flow and maximising usable space. High-performance windows and a highly insulated building envelope enhance both energy efficiency and natural daylight.

A heat recovery ventilation system supports exceptional indoor air quality and thermal comfort while reducing energy consumption—reinforcing the home’s passive performance.

This project demonstrates how thoughtful construction and architectural collaboration can meet the demands of modern family life while honouring sustainability and place.
