A Passive House in West Footscray stays a comfortable temperature all year with almost no heating or cooling, filters the air you breathe, and costs a fraction of a standard home to run. In a pocket of the inner west that carries real traffic and port pollution, a sealed, filtered home means the busy roads stay outside and the air indoors stays clean.
And you're not trusting a builder having their first go at it. This is the only kind of building we do. We've certified five Passive Houses, we test every home with a blower door, and we live in one ourselves. That experience shows up in the parts of a West Footscray home you'll never see, the airtightness, the junctions, the detailing most builders cover up and forget, which are exactly the parts that decide whether your home actually performs
