The Farrier Lane Home Demonstrates is more Sustainable

What the Farrier Lane home demonstrates is that smaller, smarter, more sustainable, homes can accommodate family living. This home impressed the jury with its simple, cost effective, low embodied energy construction and net zero credentials. It is also spatially clever, with the compact plan also providing generous interior spaces. A two-storey volume is carefully used to provide additional space, daylight and allow circulation through the home to become a delightful journey while connecting upstairs to downstairs and bedroom to bedroom.

Outdoor spaces are also available for play and recreation, again carefully located to extend the primary living areas which like the outside spaces have good solar orientation. This house while compact achieves much, not least by providing a sustainable template for a much-needed housing typology in WA.
