GreenSmart Sustainable Home
Cairns Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards
Winner: MyStyle Homes (QLD)
This project sets a new standard in sustainable tropical housing, achieving an impressive 9.3-star energy rating. Designed to respond to North Queensland’s climate, it incorporates passive solar orientation, triple-insulated roofing, and strategically placed louvre windows to maximise natural cross-ventilation. These features significantly reduce the need for artificial cooling, lowering energy consumption and costs. Native, low-impact landscaping further supports environmental harmony. The homes are built with highly insulated walls and lightweight steel framing, enhancing energy efficiency and resident comfort. Backup power systems add resilience, ensuring continued operation during outages. This development demonstrates how thoughtful design and advanced building techniques can deliver high-performance, eco-friendly homes that provide year-round comfort while minimising environmental impact in tropical settings
