Our Lord Howe Island project is entering its final stages, with the upper level and roof now taking shape and the home really starting to show how it will sit within this incredible landscape.

The use of SIP construction and a carefully considered design has helped us make efficient use of materials, reduce waste and minimise the impact of construction in such a unique and environmentally sensitive location.

We’re looking forward to sharing the finished result.

We’ve got two exciting new projects underway, each designed around a very different location, block and way of living.

One is all about a relaxed Australian coastal-meets-country feel, with raked ceilings, plenty of natural light and a design that feels right at home in its coastal setting.

The other, on the Gold Coast, takes a completely different direction with a more modern industrial style, designed to make the most of some beautiful creek views and its unique surroundings.

Both sites also come with their own flood requirements, so a big part of the design process has been working with the required flood levels while still making sure each home feels connected to the land rather than simply sitting above it.

They might look completely different, but the thinking behind them is the same — work with the block, make the most of the natural surroundings and use space and resources wisely.

We’re looking forward to seeing both of these homes come to life and sharing more as they progress.

Come with us for a look around Kings Forest and some of our upcoming projects in the new estate.

We’ve designed three new custom Eco Essence homes specifically for Kings Forest, each responding to the estate’s design guidelines while taking a completely individual approach to the orientation, layout and opportunities of each block.

With one home already under construction, another about to begin and a third currently in the works, it’s exciting to see our presence within the estate starting to take shape.

We’re looking forward to taking you behind the scenes and sharing each of these homes as they progress from plans to construction and, ultimately, completion.

For a long time, the Australian approach has been simple: make the home bigger.

But does another 30m² automatically make it a better home?

What if that same investment went towards better glazing, improved thermal performance, higher-quality finishes, solar, landscaping or creating an outdoor space you genuinely use every day?

At Eco Essence Homes, we're big believers in quality over unnecessary quantity.

A well-designed home doesn't need wasted space to feel generous. Good orientation, natural light, connection to the outdoors and thoughtful planning can make a smaller footprint feel considerably larger — while also requiring less energy and maintenance over its lifetime.

It's part of why we focus on creating 8+ Star, high-performance homes that are designed around how people actually live.

Our latest project taking shape in Bilambil Heights is a great example of what we mean when we talk about building smarter, rather than simply building bigger.

Our clients came to us with a beautiful sloping site overlooking the valley and surrounding bushland. The challenge was to create a home that worked with the land, made the most of those incredible views and still delivered everything they needed within an efficient footprint.

At just 160m², the result is a home packed with thoughtful features. The design has been carefully positioned to open the main living spaces to the outlook, connect indoor and outdoor areas, capture natural light and ventilation, and create a sense of space that extends well beyond the home's physical footprint.

It's an approach we believe strongly in at Eco Essence Homes—putting quality, performance and thoughtful design ahead of unnecessary size. When a home responds properly to its site and surroundings, 160m² can feel like so much more.

We're currently at frame stage, and it's exciting to see the design beginning to take shape against the Bilambil Heights landscape.

Plenty more to come as this one progresses.

One of ours most unique projects to date has reached another exciting milestone, with the Structural Insulated Panels , now being assembled on site after their arrival via sea.

Building on Lord Howe Island presents challenges unlike almost anywhere else in the country. With limited access, strict environmental controls and complex logistics, every element of the project has been carefully considered long before construction began.

That's where SIP construction has played a pivotal role.

Watching months of planning come together as the home begins to take shape is incredibly rewarding, and we're excited to share the journey as this remarkable project continues to evolve.

From framing in Lennox Head, to slabs going down in Yamba and another exciting start in Bilambil Heights, we're proud to be kicking off three new homes across the region.

Every project is different, but they all share the same goal — creating homes that respond to their site, embrace our local climate, and are built to be enjoyed for generations.

At first glance it looks like a contemporary family home, and it is, but it's also something much more.

Our latest Kings Forest project combines two independent dwellings under one roof, creating a smarter solution for modern Australian living.

✔ Rental income potential

✔ Multi-generational living

✔ Lower environmental impact

✔ Better long-term value

At Eco Essence Homes, we believe sustainability is about more than energy efficiency.

It's about building homes that deliver more value with fewer resources.

Because the future of housing isn't bigger, 0It's smarter.

At Eco Essence Homes, we're excited to have designed — and soon be building — these three homes across Bilambil Heights, Iluka and Pottsville.

Together, they reflect a growing shift towards simpler, more considered design through clean rooflines, natural materials and homes that feel connected to their surroundings.

Whether in the hinterland, by the coast or within established communities, we're seeing more homeowners move away from complexity and embrace timeless architecture that will look just as good in 20 years as it does today.
