Passive House Series: Lesson learned on siteπŸ’§

A reminder that even with the best planning, site conditions can throw a curveball (especially in unpredictable Melbourne weather).

Recently, we had water make its way under the tarps covering the passive subfloor at our Mornington build.

In a standard build, a bit of water might dry out and be forgotten. But in a Passive House, moisture trapped in the subfloor is a serious issue. The whole system is designed to be airtight and sealed once complete, which means any moisture left behind has nowhere to escape - and that can lead to long-term problems like mould, timber damage, and compromised insulation performance down the track.

Cold mornings, draughty rooms, sky-high heating bills - a Passive House is designed to make all of that a thing of the past.

With superior insulation, airtight construction, triple-glazed windows and heat-recovery ventilation, your home stays at a consistent, comfortable temperature all winter long, using a fraction of the energy.

Warmer, drier, healthier, and built to perform through every Melbourne cold snap. Here are some of our favourite Passive House designs.

The bearers are the structural backbone of the subfloor system, carrying the load of every floor, wall and roof above them.

In a Passive House, they need to be installed with absolute precision - perfectly level, correctly spaced, and aligned to the millimetre. Any inconsistency at this stage gets carried right through the build, affecting everything from the airtight layer to the way windows and doors sit in their frames.

A closer look at the 3D detailing of our Passive House project, thanks to Timber Truss. Where every stud, rafter and brace is mapped out before a single piece of timber lands on site. In a Passive House, the frame is engineered to do much more than hold the building up.

Stay tuned for when the frame is set to go up, marking the next major milestone of this project.

Throwback Reno πŸ”™

This completed bathroom renovation in Mount Eliza blends function and a calm, contemporary aesthetic.

Soft grey large-format tiles set the tone throughout, paired with warm timber vanities and crisp white finishes for a balanced, light-filled space.

The freestanding bath sits as the centrepiece, framed by a large picture window that floods the room with natural light and brings the outdoors in.
