Undertake the construction of a certified passive house that seamlessly integrates open-plan living, connecting the outdoors with the indoors, on an exceptionally narrow and tightly-accessed site in a flood-impacted zone. Designed to accommodate a family of four, this pre-COVID project operates within a sub-construction budget of $700k, exclusive of the swimming pool and approvals. LabDesign leads the way in spearheading the design, with Marvel Homes overseeing the approvals and construction processes. The Inner West Council posed challenges by requiring a full brick veneer finish for cohesion with neighboring properties.
