GreenSmart Sustainable Home 2020

NSW Housing Awards

GreenSmart Sustainable Home 2020

NSW Housing Awards

Winner: Blue Eco Homes

This Australian country farmhouse was inspired by the wide brim of an upside-down Akubra hat. The off-grid family home is set atop a gently sloping hill on a 314-hectare cattle farm in Regional NSW, taking advantage of district views to natural features.
