100-year-old Home Eco-Revival
A century-old home built with doubtful craftsmanship, but settled in a place of beauty, awaiting revival. Converted now into a five-home, two building design, matched at last in eye-catching beauty with its host garden, coming of age at 100, and earning its place; Passivhaus sustainability, green roofs, rain catchment and near zero energy and water usage. Ready for the next one hundred.
Highlights:
Passivhaus certified eco home. One of the first Passivhaus multi-housing units to be created.
Reuse of original materials to retain character and reduce new material use.
Green roofs, organic landscaping, food growing and vertical gardens.
Rainwater catchment for reuse in home and garden.
Whole property.
βThe Eco Alchemists bring a rare combination of environment, beauty, community and architecture to all of their projects.β
