The win was announced at the prestigious 2025 HIA Australian GreenSmart Awards announced today in Sydney.

Rooftop solar, heat pump hot water, and EV readiness support net-zero energy goals, while low-carbon materials like fly ash concrete and FSC-certified timber reduce embodied emissions.
Smart zoning, rainwater reuse, mature landscaping, and breathable building wraps elevate comfort and resilience. Backed by life cycle analysis and a NatHERS 8-star rating, the homes are built on data, not guesswork.
