And that's a wrap ! What an exciting year it was - We've finished construction on an Australian first : Applying PassivHaus to a Medical Clinic, housed in a Heritage building plus new extension. What a great combination, and a huge success. There's also another passive house finished and ready for the owners to move in just in time for Christmas. We have a few projects still going on site, one of them a passive house extension where we are trialling an exciting new prefab panel system that we have designed... And we've started two office fitouts that are aiming towards carbon zero !

We have won awards, worked hard and had fun - all that wouldn't be possible without you, our clients, our fans, our friends, our families, so we say a massive THANK YOU !

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season, and an amazing 2025 ! Let us know what you've achieved this year and/or how you re going to spend the holidays. We look forward to hearing from you !
