Architect studio Riddle Architects designed an eco-house for clients that have decided to live ecologically, located on a hill end in the city of Brisbane, Australia. The aim was to build a sustainable house that maximizes the northern solar access for edible gardens and creates a flexible internal space for different activities. The simple technique using a thermal mass was used to create a passive heating and cooling.
A number of ecological techniques were used in this house: use of solar cells, insulation, ventilated walls, roof cavities and rooms with a cross-ventilation. Energy and water consumption were maximized by well-selected construction materials, as well as maintenance of the house. The collection and recycling of water will be on site, dependence on town water supply should be removed. Energy consumed in the house will be compensated by grid-connected solar panels. The design of eco-house has received a 6 star energy rating.
