Renovation / Addition Project
2024 HIA Australian GreenSmart Renovation/Addition Project
Winner: Sowden Building Solutions
A small house in inner Sydney that has been transformed using sustainable building practices.
The renovation was not simple, the rear half of the house was demolished to remove a thermal bridge, internal walls were removed to create a more practical flow for the family, a third floor was added to create a Master Suite taking in the city views, allowing the family to grow with the home.
Intelligent choices such as heat recovery ventilation, improved insulation, finishes with low or zero VOC and new energy efficient fittings have assisted in raising the standard of living in this house.
Succeeding in the goal to create a comfortable, healthy home with minimal ongoing energy costs, this impressive renovation has taken a drafty 1884 built house to a home achieving the PassivHaus EnerPHit Plus standard.
