At leanhaus, every new project is an opportunity to evolve our construction methods to achieve lower environmental impact and higher thermal performance.
For this house in Como, we worked closely with our builder, trades and material suppliers to deliver the state's first 100% timber framed, wood fibre insulated and clad home to Passive House standards.
Wood fibre insulation and cladding is a by product of the timber industry. It is low carbon, recyclable, healthier for trades, and much better at keeping out summer heat. Unfortunately the products used come from Europe and aren't quite cost competitive, but we see this as the future of housing. One day we hope to see these products manufactured locally.
