Green Homes Australia and Green Homes Coffs Harbour were celebrated at the HIA-SGA Northern NSW Housing Awards, securing the GreenSmart Sustainable Home award for their outstanding project. This accolade highlights their exceptional work in blending eco-friendliness with luxurious design.
The award-winning home is a striking example of sustainable architecture, thoughtfully designed to maximize both energy efficiency and visual appeal. Set on a slab-on-ground foundation, it takes full advantage of its stunning bush and ocean views. The home’s interior features burnished concrete floors and reverse brick veneer walls, which effectively utilize the building’s thermal mass to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round, reducing the need for additional heating or cooling.
A standout feature of the home is its locally sourced Blackbutt shiplap cladding, which not only adds to its aesthetic charm but also improves moisture control. The counter batten system further enhances the home’s energy efficiency, ensuring optimal performance in varying weather conditions.
The home is powered by a robust photovoltaic (PV) system, providing a reliable source of clean, renewable energy. Additionally, a rainwater tank supports sustainable water use, demonstrating the home’s commitment to environmental responsibility without compromising on comfort or style.
In addition to the GreenSmart Sustainable Home award, this project also won the trophy for Custom Built Home ($800,000 to $1.5 million). This recognition underscores the home’s excellence in both design and sustainability, setting a high standard for future developments.
Green Homes Australia and Green Homes Coffs Harbour have once again demonstrated their expertise in creating homes that are both elegant and eco-conscious. This award-winning project is a testament to their innovative approach and dedication to sustainable living, offering a model for modern, responsible home building.
