litehouse living
The Habitance LiteHouse has been designed as an energy positive home, made from Sustainable Australian Materials and constructed by sustainable builders to ensure the reduced energy benefits of the design are reached.
A three bedroom adaptable home, with an Multipurpose room, LiteHouse consists of three pods, with natural airflow between. Designed to be built either 100% Off Grid, or on a semi rural or sub division block. The house has been designed in consultation with XLAM, manufacturers of Cross Laminated Timber in Australia. Using CLT reduces construction time, increases build quality whilst simultaneously improving thermal and acoustic performace to support energy positive living.
All LiteHouses are targeted to achieve a higher than 7.5 NATHERS rating.

integrated gardens
The design creates space for three seperate garden areas. At the front of the house is a garden providing quality street presence and privacy. The rear garden area provides a combination of leisure space , room for fruit trees and vegetable beds. Between the main and garage pod is a lushly planted subtropical garden which helps cool the air before it flows through the main pod. This garden is biophillic and offers a seperate protected space to enjoy.
Layout & FORM
The layout is designed to exploit natural means to control the internal environment. The benefit of three seperate pods allows the house to take advantage of orientation and solar aspect. The smaller footprints enable all rooms to have cross ventilation and extensive glazing and openable windows are carefully oriented to control the quality of light and solar penetration.
