With a history going back over 100 years, the building that houses the new Zenith Perth showroom is a deserving home for such a vital design brand.
It goes without saying that there is much to love about every house in the 2019 Habitus House of the Year selection. But when it comes to co-existing in harmony with nature and enjoying indoor-outdoor living, these five projects take the cake.
Sitting comfortably in the local landscape – which includes one of Perth’s few remnant lakes – this contemporary house by CAPA Studio integrates planting and water features to create a harmonious living environment.
Designed to respond to the diurnal rhythm of sunrise and sunset, this house floats immaterially above the ground.
Good for people and the environment, passive solar home design improves the thermal comfort and energy efficiency of a home using the resources of the sun and wind.
