Seed House.

The Seed house is a fine example of a high performing natural home. Having achieved an inspiring Nathers star rating of 9.1 it is sure to be a comfortable house to live in all year round.

The Seed house displays a relatively small building footprint to maximise garden area and minimize it's impact on the environment. But don’t be fooled, this cosy abode seamlessly connects to its surrounding garden, creating an expansive haven for family life. The lounge and dining room feature a gracefully curved wall that while providing breathtaking views of the distant mountains, welcomes natural light and the winter sun to warm the living spaces. In summer, these windows can be opened, along with others, strategically placed through the house, to capture the prevailing cooling breezes and provide cross-ventilation.

Embracing the ethos of sustainable living, this residence is a solar passive house, a beacon of biophilic design. Its external walls are crafted from Hempcrete, a renewable material that not only insulates the home from the elements, but also reduces its environmental impact, by being carbon positive. Internally, a ‘Mudtec’ earth brick wall serves as an almost double story feature wall full of texture and colour. While structural and beautiful, this wall also provides thermal mass that gently regulates the temperature, ensuring a cozy and comfortable atmosphere year-round.

We feel the Seed house not only captures the essence of contemporary living but incorporates the beauty and health benefits of a natural home, inviting you to savor life’s precious moments, in a haven that cares for both you and the environment.
