Article source: Poly Studio A House for All Seasons is a contemporary house designed for the evolving needs of a young family within the context of a heritage streetscape in inner-city Melbourne. The design of the form and facades of the house was carefully calibrated to the grain, scale and materiality of neighbouring dwellings. Innovative, efficient spatial planning provides a generosity of amenity within a compact footprint.  Image Courtesy © Tatjana Plitt

It has been designed and built according to the principles of the Passive House standard – one of the most rigorous energy efficiency standards in the world – with the aim of providing year-round thermal comfort with minimal requirement for mechanical heating and cooling.

The use of polished concrete, blackbutt plywood and a mix of feature colours contributes to a warm and engaging interior. A House for All Seasons provides a template for sustainable new housing, designed to accommodate contemporary living patterns both now and into the future.
