This a small but perfectly formed eHaus is nestled in a private retreat away from the business of life. It has all you need including 3 bedrooms and an amazing private outdoor area linking directly to the internal living space. With all of the normal eHaus features and some extras this home has a very light footprint on the planet and generates most of the electricity that is needed to run the home through the year. "From the time we had our kick off meeting… About 20th March... basically we came out of Consent on the 21st of July, so been a four month process. Working together between the design and the builder and ourselves, very tightly together, has been the right way to go"– Robin

FROM OUR CLIENTS

“When we come home we feel like we are on holiday it is so quiet and comfortable. Brent is coughing a lot less due to his asthma now we have a controlled air environment, all this and we’re saving heaps on our electricity bills, we only spend 50 to 80 dollars monthly on power not 450 to 600 dollars.”

— Brent and Helen Bohanna

Extraordinary heat energy savings.

Every one of our projects are energy modelled using the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP). It's through this powerfully clever tool that we can accurately calculate just how much heat energy every eHaus will save when compared to a similarly- sized typical new home, built in the same climate region.

This project is making significant carbon savings for a better environment.

We believe that our homes should have a big impact on the way we live, but little impact on the land. We've calculated the amount of carbon our homes have saved through energy efficiency from move in day 'til now. At their core, eHaus' are built with the elimination of carbon emissions in mind - so we're not only creating healthy, comfy & high performing homes, but spaces that don't cost the earth.
