This multigenerational home, designed for seven occupants aged 16 to 88, demonstrates that larger houses can be built sustainably. With step-free access, accessible bathrooms, and separate living areas, the design adapts to its residents' needs at every stage of life.
The home makes extensive use of wood-based products: timber-framed walls, Steico wood fibre insulation, Weathertex cladding, spruce triple-glazed windows, and reclaimed hardwood timber floors and ceilings.
Completed in 2025, Yarralumla Passive House is targeting the Passivhaus Plus Standard, ensuring year-round comfort, excellent air quality, and energy efficiency.
