About the winning project
This compact single-storey home, located in the Macedon Ranges, offers a stunning view of the Cobaw Ranges. Spanning 216sq m, it provides everything a young family needs on their rural property. The newly built home features three bedrooms, a study, a master ensuite, a powder room, a main bathroom, laundry, a mudroom, and a separate drying room. The centrally located kitchen and living area blend seamlessly into the landscape with muted external colours. The property is completely off-grid, utilising solar power, rainwater tanks, and on-site wastewater treatment. Construction was completed in just under eight months, showcasing a clever design that captures the northerly aspect and embraces sustainable and passive living.
