The West Brunswick Sustainable House is a Californian Bungalow style weatherboard house built in 1929. It is home for Stuart McQuire and Wendy Orams. Without renovating or rebuilding, the house has progressively been given a green makeover for environmental sustainability. The West Brunswick Sustainable House has gained a national and international profile for its role in pioneering environmental technologies and sustainable living. In 2026 the house is celebrating 30 years of grid-connected solar electricity.
The house is set in a native and permaculture style garden, and features grid connected solar electricity, solar battery storage, electric vehicle charging, reverse cycle heating / cooling, heat pump hot water, rainwater tanks, water recycling, veggie garden, composting and chooks. There is also an office in the converted bungalow out the back.
