Home Designs for Sustainable Living

The winning entry by Team Collaborative Future, one of the four finalists in the Zero Carbon Challenge by the South Australian Government, is a zero-carbon designed home: liveable, affordable and adaptable that would offset the energy used in its construction and everyday running so the net emissions would be zero. They designed a low-energy, classic-looking dwelling using innovative materials and a construction method that would be unique in South Australia. Housing and Urban Development Minister Patrick Conlon, although unable to attend the award ceremony, congratulated the winning team and said, "At a cost of around $335, 000 (excluding GST), a 7. 5-star energy rating, net zero-operational energy and a 16-week construction time, the home that Team Collaborative Future has designed ticks a lot of boxes and is a worthy winner. " Construction of the zero-carbon house will begin mid-year at the Lochiel Park Green Village, Campbelltown.


To create a new home design doesn't only mean creating something aesthetically beautiful; it must also be comfortable, enduring and eco-friendly, especially with the world's drive towards environmental sustainability. There are various home designs for the conservative homeowners and for modern young professionals, but the key factor when making house plans is personality. It should speak about the people living in the house and must reflect their concern of the house's environmental impact.
