About the winning project
Discover the remarkable charm of compact living with this 64m2 architectural gem. Design takes centre stage in this cosy yet functional home, boasting the smallest complete house footprint ever built. The well-appointed kitchen and generous bathroom cater to visitors with ease. Embracing solar passive design and near-Passive Haus specifications, this home ensures minimal running costs for year-round comfort. A heat recovery ventilation system maintains the perfect climate within its tightly sealed walls. Despite its contemporary build, the pitched roof and eaves seamlessly blend with the surrounding older homes. The hempcrete finishes and warm colour palette create a welcoming atmosphere. VR Builders’ skilled tradespeople have delivered a high-quality, small-footprint home that rivals larger counterparts in features and value. Noteworthy is its environmental sustainability and significantly reduced bills, thanks to solar passive features, eaves on all sides, double-glazed windows, heat pump hot water, and all-electric appliances.
