Hervey Bay: Sustainable homes, Queensland

Hervey Bay features an accessible path through the garden and up to the front door

The architects, The TVS Partnership have designed the home with Hervey Bay's sub-tropical coastal climate and high humidity in mind. The design is responsive to the hot summer, mild winter, definite dry season and distinct seasonal temperature variation.  The house received a 5 star BERS rating when the architect did the analysis house.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is an appropriate size and layout for several different family types.   The house has room for a family with 2 or 3 children, and has the potential to accommodate elderly relatives, overnight guests, or a home office.
