'Viminalis' is situated in The Cape, Australia's premier sustainable housing development, and boasts a remarkable 9.0 star NatHERS rating. This exquisite home showcases a thoughtfully designed floor plan that prioritizes livability and showcases breathtaking finishes. Meticulous attention was given to the building's footprint, ensuring maximum communal living spaces and an enticing invitation to explore the great outdoors. Featuring strategically placed double glazing, 'Viminalis' not only enhances crossflow ventilation but also fosters a seamless connection to the nearby walking tracks and open spaces.

The block is positioned on an east/west axis, allowing the house to benefit from a favorable northern orientation for maximum solar gain and passive heating. The strategic implementation of fixed shading is an essential element in the passive solar design of the house. Crossflow ventilation is ingeniously employed to naturally cool the house and enhance indoor air quality, capitalizing on the already pristine air of Cape Paterson.

Both externally and internally, a combination of Natural Brick Co. Lutyens & Woodstone blocks have been creatively employed as a thermal mass wall. These bricks and blocks from Natural Brick Co. are crafted using recycled timber, glass, and rice hulls, making them the ideal choice for their environmentally conscious and sustainable values.

Viminalis is a state-of-the-art residence powered entirely by electricity, harnessing the energy of a cutting-edge 6.6kW solar array and a high-capacity 10.7kW battery storage system. This exceptional home features a heat pump hot water service, an induction cooktop, energy-efficient appliances throughout, and even includes an electric car charge point for convenient charging of your electric vehicle. All rain water is harvested and directed to a 10,000ltr water tank, which is plumbed back into the house and used for all garden taps around the home.
The home also features a stunning mural piece by a local artist Melanie Caple on an external wall that abuts a communal walking track. A depiction of the local Manna Gum 'Viminalis' Coastal Banskias and a green swathe to tie the design back into the house.

The main bathroom is extremely practical with its three seperate zones, allowing seperate private use of the toilet, bathing zone and basin area which has proved essential with four children utilising the space.
The laundry is more of a multipurpose room, allowing for the usual functions of a laundry space but by being accessible from the kitchen allows it to be utilised as an overflow pantry with additional freezer and shelving for preserved food storage, an essential item when striving for a sustainable lifestyle.

The home maintains a consistent temperature ranging from 16-25 degrees from Summer to Winter.

With a 9.0 star energy rating, and the inclusion of renewables, this house is well on its way to becoming carbon positive with little to no energy bills for the lifespan of the home.
