General Information
Passive House Plus new build
Building type: rural single family house
Location: AU - 3095 (Victoria)
Description:
Yarramead: On the banks of the Yarra river in rural Victoria. As well as the usual benefits of Passivhaus Design, a principal motivation for these owners was avoiding poor air quality that contributes to asthma. The design sweeps round so that all three living rooms and three bedrooms can take in views to the hills of the Yarra Ranges. Placing the p.v. array on the shed freed the main roof to slope away from the sun and provide high glazing on the side facing the views. Australian standard timber frame construction was used with external wall insulation under the cladding. Also complies with Liveable Housing Standard, flood and bushfire requirements.
