Right Homes Project 1

This custom-built single-storey Jolimont property exudes practicality, comfort, and a high standard of design. The highly contemporary home comprises three bedrooms, a study, an open-plan living, dining and entertaining area, and a central kitchen, which is situated next to the laundry and alfresco for optimum convenience. The property also has a large double garage, which includes a storage area, a car hoist and durable epoxy-finished flooring, which is ideal for automotive enthusiasts.

The clients wanted a sustainable and accessible home that would suit their lifestyle and meet their future comfort needs. Right Homes achieved this by employing a passive solar design, and by incorporating smart-glass windows, and ceiling fans, as well as wall and ceiling insulation. A photovoltaic (PV) with battery backup and solar hot-water system were also installed.

The home’s passive solar design incorporates the Housing Industry Association’s (HIA) GreenSmart Principles and is highly energy- and water-efficient. With an 8.5-star Building Energy Rating Scheme (BERS) rating, the home features energy-efficient lighting, as well as water-saving tapware that is plumbed to two underground 7,000L rainwater tanks, which results in a potable-water reduction of approximately 80 per cent. This earned the property the state and national 2017 HIA GreenSmart Water Efficiency Award, as well as a finalist place in the Excellence in Energy Efficiency category at the 2018 Master Builders-Bankwest Housing Excellence Awards.
