Sol House is a celebration of Australian heritage and contemporary architecture all in one. It is the product of an unwavering commitment to sustainability, enabling the liveability of the existing Interwar Californian Bungalow dwelling to skyrocket due to the clever design interventions incorporated particularly in the rear addition. While the original street frontage is retained, the interior layout is reconfigured to enable a more efficient and logical use of space, helping to further the home’s thermal performance and comfort along with the premium new addition. The outcome is a site-responsive, high quality family home, offering a contemporary urban oasis surrounded by lush greenery. Sol House sets a prime example of what the contemporary suburban Australian home could look and feel like; housing of heritage significance sensitively transformed to pay homage to its history while exceeding sustainable practice norms in order to accommodate the contemporary needs of our people and planet.
