This home won Silver in the MasterBuild House of the Year Awards 2021
This 131m2 home is a brand new build, in a 1900's villa style.
Three bedrooms, master with ensuite and walk in wardrobe.
This home features all the perks of a modern home - warm, energy-efficient house with the charm and character of a timeless classic.
Clad in timber weatherboard and with a glorious front bay window, this replica villa perched on the side of a hill is comfortable and cosy. The client has also chosen to make this home able to run off-grid. Solar panels providing power to the house, the water is heated by this solar energy and fire wetback, which also warms the radiator in the bathroom.
Exterior joinery with low-e coating and argon gas keeps the warmth inside and the cold weather out. Water is supplied from two rain-water tanks high above the house.
This is a high-quality, beautifully crafted home that’s true to the villa’s roots – timber floors, covered verandahs and more – but also with modern benefits such as open plan living, double glazed joinery, and fully insulated.
