Homebush House 1 – New house

A young family needed more room to grow & entertain their extended family. Their large site was under-utilised with small old cottage with little internal light & amenity. Their brief was for a very large new house with abundant natural light & ventilation and extensive use of passive energy technology. This includes 24 photovoltaic panels, solar hot water heater, 30k litres rainwater storage tank & hydronic heating in the floor. The PV will also recharge electric cars. The entry features a large double height foyer with hi-lite & vertical garden in an “internal” Planter. The works are currently documented.
