Stonewood is an innovative family home that combines elegant design with sustainable practices, featuring operable screens for flexible space usage and achieving an impressive 8.5-star energy rating.
Stonewood is efficient: its elegant plan offers flexibility for a humble family. Its operable screens transform connecting spaces, sectioning large areas into intimate nooks, directing views, and channelling breezes.
Folding and unfolding according to use, Stonewood reveals a different story in each configuration, appearing effortlessly spacious within a modest footprint.
Stonewood presents a unique and aspirational solution to designing on a modest budget. The 8.5 star rated home employs elegant planning, and passive low-tech methods of thermal comfort to enhance the quality of space.
We are proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Stonewood stands. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
