22.01.2022 Builder and carpenter Chris installing the solitex vapour membrane on the completed timber frame @abbetthaus. Like a breathable goretex raincoat, this membrane is carefully taped and sealed to protect the works from water, but also allows the structure to breate, preventing damaging mould and condensation. #architecture_wa #passivhaus #livelean

22.01.2022 It's good to see the problem of toxic homes being brought to to the surface. A passivhaus is the only home that can actually make your indoor environment safe from mould and dust all day everyday.

19.01.2022 Smart design builds wealth. Sketch plans for a completed home on a compact lot for a young couple. We designed to home to function as a 3x2, but could also be split into two apartments. Our clients lived upstairs and rented downstairs which enabled them to pay down the mortgage and save to buy and build on another block nearby (which we also designed) #architecture_wa #solarpassive #dualkey #pertharchitect #livelean

16.01.2022 Design progression for @abbetthaus. The mass of the building is carefully arranged on the tiny site to allow winter sun into the lower ground living area. The upper level is boxed out to provide summer shade define the building. #livelean #architecture_wa #passivehaus #sketchup #solarpassive #pertharchitect

16.01.2022 Proud to see Abbetthaus featured in this month's issue of Sanctuary Magazine. A beautiful, modern Perth home on a tiny and challenging block shows that the Passive House standard can be achieved on a modest budget.

16.01.2022 Our first home built to a 'lean' philosophy for just $1000/sqm in 2007. Architecture can be affordable when working with typical details, a minimalist interior and smart use of space. #livelean #architecture #solarpassive #architecture_wa

15.01.2022 I'm beyond honoured to be shortlisted for the #sustainabilityawards2020. it's been a crazy two years since I started Leanhaus based on various philosophies about designing, building and procurement that have been fermenting for 10 years or more. It is so gratifying to find that there is are insightful clients who demand a better way of building and living and they choose to work with us to make it happen.

09.01.2022 Abbetthaus made the official shortlist for the Australian Sustainability Awards 2020. Its great to be recognised on a list with many Architects I admire and be the only project from WA. About the project: This home in Scarborough presents a new vision of sustainable housing: one that balances affordability and efficiency, and is delight to inhabit all year round. Abbetthaus is the second certified Passive House in WA, and the first to demonstrate that PH- certification can b...e achieved on a modest budget. The brief called for the home to be simple, affordable and robust. Taking cues from the site and orientation and inspired by the desert Modernist style the design features generous living spaces that open to the outdoors. The plan provides future flexibility, to accommodate a growing family or house-share scenario as needs change. In contrast to typical Perth housing (built with double-brick skins), this house was constructed using renewable and recyclable timber. With high levels of insulation, air-tight construction and high performance windows, it is comfortable and healthy without any additional cooling or heating all year round. See more

05.01.2022 Final blower door testing @abbetthaus. A high standard of airtightness is essential for the house to maintain in high level of comfort without energy loss, but also for the ventilation system to operate efficiently. #passivhaus #blowerdoor #passivehouse #livelean
