The net zero house design incorporates an open plan layout for maximum passive solar design benefit during the cooler months.  The architectural aesthetic is appropriate for any urban or rural setting.  The entry vestibule connects the bedroom module with the open plan living that enhance the light and 180 degree views.

The architectural design is ideal for entertaining and relaxing with the alfresco terrace being an extension of the living space.  Occupants need only slide back 8 feet/2400mm high end-sliding clear anodized aluminium doors to enjoy warm evenings.  The architectural design reduces the carbon footprint using passive solar design principles.

A high efficiency energy rating is achieved correctly sited with diurnal movements of the sun.  Technology such as UV light filtered harvested rainwater with storage tanks, rooftop rooftop solar hot water unit, lighting control, underfloor heating and a traditional wood fuel firebox can add an extra stroke of luxury to twenty first century living.

The entry vestibule features a generous 8 feet/2400mm double glazed timber pivot door while 8 feet/2400mm clear anodized end-sliding doors optimize the passive solar design by linking the internal and outdoor living areas of the net zero house design.

The net zero house design architectural specification can also include photovoltaic electricity generation if an authentic off-grid-lifestyle is the ultimate destination.
