YOUR CHOICE OF BUILDER, MATERIALS AND PRICE

Sun shine on! By splitting the house volume into a separate living pod and sleeping wing linked by a library walkway, The Pavillions maximises its northern solar exposure and opportunity for cross ventilation, bringing glorious light and sea breezes into your home. The result is naturally well-lit living spaces with two courtyard patio areas adjoining three bedrooms to encourage alfresco living and a seamless connection with the landscape.

Designed by the Ecovillage Design Team, this home can be built in a range of materials, by the builder of your choice. The Pavillions house plans can be purchased from Sustainable Settlements, please email [email protected]

Pricing

An Ecovillage Pre-designed Home and lot consist of two wholly separate contracts: 

  1. Buyers must purchase and settle on an Ecovillage lot first from the developer, Sustainable Settlements.  
  2. Buyers then enter into a separate financial agreement and building contract with their chosen builder. Sustainable Settlements is not involved in this process. 

Documentation and Certifications

NatHERS (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) is a star rating system (out of 10) that rates the thermal efficiency of the home’s design. In other words, how well the house can stay at a comfortable temperature throughout the year without artificial heating or cooling.  Every Ecovillage home must achieve a minimum of 8 stars. Read more on our Sustainability Assessments page.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an excellent method for measuring the environmental impact of a building by assessing “every single impact aspect of a product or process over its entire life span. We require every Ecovillage home to undertake an LCA. Read more about Sustainability Assessments here.

We recommend that purchasers undertake an independent financial health check, for example,using www.alwayscheckyourbuilder.com.au
