DESIGN

An exemplar in contemporary, energy-efficient home design the Moonshadow project achieves an 8.4-star energy rating. This home design integrates a range of sustainable materials that have a low embodied energy, along with solar power, solar hot water and rain harvesting functionality.

Perfect for the modern family, the Moonshadow project features polished concrete floors and exposed brick to give an industrial aesthetic which is offset by the warmth of the exterior timber cladding. The home features three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, study and seamless open plan living. Optimising the natural northern light and making best use of cross ventilation, the home is changing the way we think about affordable sustainable homes.

The home adopts passive solar design features to achieve an 8.4-star energy efficiency rating. A central volume takes full advantage of the north orientation and thermal mass creating a comfortable internal temperature year-round.

Transparency and openness allow for abundant natural light to permeate internal spaces.

The intent of the interior design reflects contemporary coastal living.

Exterior and Interior specifications for this striking home have been curated to deliver a luxurious lifestyle, sustainably.
