Great to see Perth based projects
I’m glad you found us! There are many wonderful projects here, I hope to feature as many as possible.
This is a beautiful home!
It is indeed! Thanks for watching 😊
perfect functional passive house design❤
This reminds me of some of the beautiful modern homes of the 70's, but I'm sure it's much more environmentally friendly! Love it❤!
You’re right, those simple lines with the breeze blocks echo the glorious mid-century modern style. Glad you liked the project!
What an amazing property! But more so an amazing home! Passive and eco in every sense. The simple design and minimalist approach works so well. Yet it is a family home. With the foresight of " apartment" within for whatever the future holds. Also with climate change, this property is capable of dealing with all weather conditions. Brilliant! Thank you for sharing.
So glad you liked the home. Indeed it is weather and future-proof. It’s amazing how warm it was inside on a cloudy winter day. Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing! Even better if you planted a few trees that will bring you habitat and shade and will bring the house to life.
It is incredible. Thank you for sharing this work of art and inspiring others.
Glad you like the project!
Love this house! so inspired by all the nice materials they used.
And it's so quiet and warm inside too (it's winter here in Australia). Thanks for watching!
Looks beautiful. Fabulous design.
It is a striking design indeed, thanks for commenting!
Perfect house . That's how all houses should be
Glad you like the home!
Great looking home and congrats to you for doing it right. I love the simplicity of the structure yet the Beauty of the design. Nice work.
Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for commenting.
Modest, simple, understated and high performance . . . and beautifully modern - what's not to love.
Large roof over hangs are beautiful and protect the doors, windows and siding from rain and moisture damage. Water is the enemy of buildings. Architects and home builders need to bring back large roof over hangs
It’s mind-boggling how so many houses were built without any shading for decades. Just because verandas were suddenly not fashionable anymore.
@@ProjectifiAU They thought they were saving money on a smaller roof. Short term thinking does not produce optimal results,
😅nice Design. Looks same like my house from 2004. Only 2 floors. Passive house Standart too in germany. Full build with tji joist 356mm. And a 20cm concrete floor with 25cm insulation under. And 3 glas Windows u =0.76
That house should be toastie in Winter then! I wish more houses were built to higher specifications.
how much?
I'd like to know more about they systems. I mean it's beautiful we can all see that. But what is in the walls?

Where's the actual tour of the house? Did I miss it?
Please feel free to check out Ben’s channel (link in the description). He’s got a great walkthrough and explanation video of the house.
@@ProjectifiAU Thanks
Nice house. The plot is of course small, 1000 m2, 10 acres is for a house of 80 - 100m2. I would like to see the engineering part. The construction of the foundation and walls, as well as their thermal insulation.
Thanks for your comment, Vladimir! Much appreciated. Ben has a more technical video on the house on his channel, please feel free to check it out! Link in the description.
@@ProjectifiAU Спасибо🤗
It seems to be a small town. Well populated area from what I can gather from the aerial footages, 1000 m2 seems like plenty to me. Country side to raise cows, yeah sure, this is too small 🙂
@@EZ-lj3hv This house is in Perth, the capital of Western Australia, with a population of over 2M. Floreat is one of the most beautiful suburbs (my favourite) where you can still find large blocks. The current average is about 370m2, so considering that this is a huge block :)
Do you have a link to Ben's channel? @@ProjectifiAU I'd like to also see the construction side of things.
If you live in an area subject to high winds, hurricanes or tornados a concrete or cbs build is preferred. Are there efficient homes using this material?
Absolutely, material choices must be based on the particulars of the location. The biggest energy wasters are always the roof, the doors and windows.
If that's your outside I'd rather be inside mate! That backyard looks like a miniature Mad Max ecosystem.
Given they have young kids, I feel like it is ideal. Having a permeable driveway is also a great choice (even though you'd need to wear shoes on it I imagine!)
@@z3lda808 Yes permeable paving was a consideration, but also cost! The gravel was self-installed for a fraction of the cost of concrete or paving.
The garden is coming along nicely, the video was filmed soon after construction before the plantings were established properly.
Anyone know what that ceiling is, with the holes in?

What's the measurements out of curiosity or sq footage (or m2)
210sqm internal area
No Floor Plan?
Why avoid steel?
Steel has high embodied carbon and acts like a thermal bridge, reducing comfort and energy efficiency. It is also costly and slows down the build process.
What was the budget?
House only $700k AUD. Cost today is approx. $1m
I like that he talked about how bad steel is, then we get to see the entire house is literally incased in steel panels... but you know, the beams aren't made from steel so its fine. hahaha
There is a big difference in the embodied energy and lifecycle cost of light gauge steel cladding vs heavy structural steel beams. The corrugated steel cladding provides a lifetime of maintenance free protection to the home, compared to a painted alternative.
Every home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels. Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it. We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes. It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity. the future is electric. Wind and solar energy along with electric vehicles are the future. Stop using fossil fuels. There is a climate crisis.
Thumbs down for that sustainability garbage.
Do you even know anything.
You mean like when leaders across the globe say that global warming is not about saving the world. Rather, it is about redistributing money and changing the power structures around the world. Yeah, I have that knowledge. @@theleanarchitect
Hi I will love to copy your house, maybe just changing the rooms, would you please contact me for more information?
