Located in a rapidly growing area, this stand-alone dwelling takes full advantage of its prominent position in a new subdivision. Overlooking the local park and school, the north-facing elevation of the building offers both privacy and scenic views.

Built using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), it boasts exceptional energy efficiency and structural integrity. The windows, featuring uPVC and timber frames with triple glazing, not only flood the interiors with natural light but also contribute to reduced energy consumption. Inside, a compact unit houses all essential services, maximizing space and efficiency. And topping it all off are photovoltaic solar panels, harnessing the power of the sun to provide renewable energy and lower utility bills. 

For our homeowners, these sustainable features mean living in a home that not only looks stunning but also feels comfortable year-round. With Passive House certification, they can enjoy consistent temperatures throughout the seasons while minimizing energy consumption.
