It’s remarkable how much fits inside this two-storey 151 m² home for an extended and expanding family. The clients wanted a functional and compact home, a place that was both dignified and comfortable. It also includes a self-contained flat, gym, library and 3.5 bathrooms "Without a doubt the most comfortable house we’ve ever lived in, year-round and without having to burn power to make it that way, which is awesome"

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.
