Huff'n'Puff Haus was awarded the Biophilic Design Award from The Living Future Institute of Australia: what a honour! This is a rural strawbale home, certified Passivhaus Premium.
The Living Future Institute of Australia announced the winners of the National Biophilic Design Awards, and Envirotecture are thrilled to announce that our #Huff‘n’Puff Haus project has been named a joint winner of the Biophilic Design Award in the building scale category
“The Huff’n’Puff House is distinguished by its seamless integration with the surrounding landscape, which is achieved through its expansive views, natural colour palette, and use of warm, earthy materials,” said Dr Fiona Gray, chair of this judging panel.
“These elements enhance the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, firmly grounding the building in its environment. Its understated and refined aesthetic, together with its attainment of Passivhaus certification, reflect its commitment to sustainability and harmonious integration with the natural world.”
