In the heart of suburban Canberra, Oska’s House reimagines the classic red brick home. Using solar passive principles and NatHERS energy modelling, the floor plan was optimised to create a new family home with more functional space and better flow and connection.
Despite its relatively small footprint this home pays attention to the basics, showing what can be done with good design, good detailing and quality construction.
HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin said HIA Australian GreenSmart Awards recognise HIA members who deliver the latest in environmental design excellence and sustainable building practices.
“HIA is committed to sustainable building outcomes through environmentally focussed design, innovation and construction. Our commitment to recognise excellence has not altered over the 24 years the HIA GreenSmart program has been running. The winners and finalists are at the cutting-edge in their field and demonstrate expertise in building superior performing, energy-saving homes for their clients.
“Each winner and finalist is congratulated for achieving success at a national level,” concluded Ms Martin.
