A Contemporary Design for Off Grid Living
Melbourne Home Design + Living
This modern, sustainable home overlooking the picturesque hills of Flowerdale has been expertly crafted by Hedger Constructions. An off-grid wonder, this project required the company to ensure that all services to the site and infrastructure were captured in the build. Polished concrete floors provide good thermal mass, allowing the commercial windows to not only deliver breathtaking views, but also to passively heat the slab during winter.
The use of the concrete slab, double-glazed windows, and high levels of insulation ensure that this home retains heat and requires very little energy to run. The home is therefore extremely sustainable and energy-efficient, a request from the client in their brief. Close attention to detail from Hedger Constructions ensured that the home was also well-sealed and positioned on the land to optimise heat retention. Similarly, the use of gas for hot water and cooking lowered the need for electrical production.
Externally clad in gorgeous COLORBOND steel, this home has a sleek, contemporary look while still minimising visual impact to the landscape. Inside, earthy tones and textured materials are used throughout to spark visual interest and reflect the beauty of the surrounding hills. The expansive windows immerse the home in the bush setting, allowing the luxurious natural light to seep in.
