Noble Street Passivhaus is a new build in Anglesea, Victoria, created for owners who wanted to replace a cold, damp home with something warm, fresh, and genuinely comfortable. Designed and constructed to Passivhaus standard and currently in the certification process, it pairs rigorous performance thinking with a quietly striking architectural presence.

‍

Set into the native bushland, the home feels private and serene, with a cave-like entry sequence and weathered steel cladding that is designed to soften into the landscape over time. Positioned above the tree canopy, it captures expansive views while using careful shading to manage heat gain in the milder coastal climate. OPTIWIN Passive House windows support the envelope strategy, helping maintain stable indoor conditions while keeping the experience calm and consistent across seasons.
