DESIGN

This outcome was a colaboration between a young award winning architect in Janik Dalecki from Dalecki Designs and James Cross of Northern Aspect Energy Consultants. The goal was to take a small family size house on a standard inner city suburban block and aim for the stars............... with a final outcome of 9.8 stars and a preliminary outcome of 10 stars this house was as much a passion project as it was family home design.

The house was completed recently and the home owners are more than happy. The home owners commented that during the recent cold spell in Perth they were comfortable enough to wear a light jumper and pants without any heating added to the house. They also run the ceiling fans in the Bedroom during winter as the room can actually get too hot.

The Green House proves that high star ratings really do equal lower running costs for the home and can be achieved on small suburban blocks, when the focus is on the right design for the right block and right budget.
