The House on the Hill - Passive Solar Home in Beverley
BDAWA 2020 DESIGN AWARDS
WINNER "BEST RESIDENTIAL DESIGN UP TO $500,000"
WINNER “BEST RURAL DESIGN”
FINALIST “OVERALL DESIGN EXCELLENCE”
This passive solar, energy efficient home was designed for a young family in Beverley. Our client wanted a bespoke home that incorporated language and materials appropriate to the rural setting & had a strong connection to the land.
The house is orientated to take advantage of the natural solar path ensuring excellent passive solar gain in winter. The staggered floor plan offers shelter from prevailing winds for outdoor living areas. Indoor living spaces open directly onto outdoor living with extended views over the landscape beyond.
Three separate skillion roofs over the indoor living, outdoor living and bedroom wing create a dynamic, contemporary aesthetic. The natural terrain continues below an elevated deck so the house “floats” above the landscape.
Note: This home was completed in 2019, prior to the impact of COVID19 & the current construction boom in WA. Unfortunatly, in the current climate, this home would not be achievable for under $500k.
