With textural stone pillars framing the entry and the timber clad gable, the materials create a connection between the home and surrounding landscape. Designed by Lockhart Design, built by leading sustainable home builder Geoff Gibson Homes, and with an 18kw solar system installed by Proven Energy, the house is designed to maximise airflow and retain a comfortable temperature while using minimal energy. The owners are passionate about the environment and reducing their carbon footprint, so this recently built family home was made with sustainability in mind, and designed to help realise future plans to continue reducing the owners’ impact.
