How An Architect Designed Their Own Highly Sustainable But Playful Family Home

- There is a reason most residential blocks are rectangular, so imagine coming across a triangular site that is wedged between a train line and a laneway. However, this proved to be the perfect site for Marc and Felicity Bernstein of Melbourne Design Studios to create their dream sustainable family home.
"The idea was to create a highly sustainable home, but also a very playful and fun and adventurous house," explains Marc Bernstein. "Something that we could use as a showcase to show people what is a Passive House, how does a Passive House work?"
The result is a three-storey home featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a roof garden, sunken living and more, designed with contemporary living and biophilia in mind.
The bedrooms are a standout feature, double-volume size, with a study/living space on one level and sleeping above. Netting is suspended over the void space, giving Marc and Felicity's children literally a place to hang out.
The materials were carefully chosen to achieve a carbon-negative home but still provide a serene atmosphere. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) was used for the home's structure, but left exposed internally. Recycled bricks and metal were used externally to help it blend into the urban context.
Biophilia was incorporated, being constantly connected with nature, and using timber and planting, a relaxing and peaceful interior was achieved for the family.
What makes Hütt 01 genuinely spectacular is its Passive House Premium certification, the highest level that can be achieved. Thermal comfort is achieved through high levels of insulation, triple-glazed windows, having the home airtight and ensuring no thermal bridging is compromised during construction. Finally, a heat recovery ventilation system rounds out the Passive House credentials.
But how effective is it going to these lengths to achieve a Passive House?
"One of the comments we get from visitors a lot of times in winter, they come in, and they say 'the house feels so nice and comfy, what's your heating source?" Marc explains. "And the answer to that is none. There's no heating."
Hütt 01 looks to celebrate the quality of life, using Passive House and biophilic design principles to create a home that relaxes and rejuvenates Marc, Felicity and their family. Home by Hütt, a company born out of this project, aims to provide contemporary sustainable homes ready for the future that limits its impact on the planet.

I remember watching the build of this wonderful house. It was such a shame to see the original partially burnt by fire when only half complete. I bet it took such strength to start again, but thankfully they did and went on to produce a wonderful building.
The fire is truly a heartbreaking chapter in this home's story. But I'm glad they continued forward, because their home is just incredible.
In Germany a passive house is almost standard. Many people build a plus house. This house produces more energy than it consumes.
Lovely to see an architect designed home that actually looks lived in and relaxing.
This place looks fantastic, really feels like a home with very personal touches
Is the soundproofing really working so well that even living so closed to the train line is immune to all the noise?
Hi Matthew, when the windows/doors were closed, you barely heard the noise. Is it completely silent? No, but it is reduced significantly that it sounds like it is off in the distance despite being right next to you.
@@SimpleDwelling Thank you, that’s eye opening!
Years on from its grand design reveal the garden has really settled in and looks amazing now. The house itself still looks in great condition. If i had a spare million bucks I'd get Marc to build me a house!
It's lovely to see how the house as settled and how established the garden is now. Grand Designs Australia followed the construction and the fire the owners mention in the episode, season 9 epidose 8. Such an amazing home!
I loved the Grand Design episode, Sarah. The fire was heartbreaking was watch, so we didn't want to talk too much about it for my video.
It's not my favorite palette and maybe it's a little "full" but, okay, this time it hit the mark. Great job! 👌
Love it! the interior & exterior, the colour pallete, the cute dog & garden..
Everything about it is just a win!
What a great home.. great design and very thoughtful to bring a vibrant atmosphere.. passive housing something to think about.. 👍👍
Very soothing to watch, no wonder it will be way more relaxing to dwell there! ❤️
I'm glad you got the soothing vibes! What I aim to do with my videos.
So great to see Passivhaus buildings in Australia! There were only about 20 when we started our project back in 2019
beutiful🤩🤩🤩
Extraordinary building! One of my favorites that will not be forgotten. Lots of interesting concepts here, but I wonder about where "goes" the moist in such enclosed environment. That so evolved lovely couple must be from another dimension 😊
I love this house and the guiding principles of these wonderful people. What a warm workable house without it being gigantic.
Beautiful home, and great feature!
Biophilic design
Combine this with 'less is more' and you have my perfect home!
Nice!
Biophilic design
A really lovely home.
Incredible
Lovely, can I please have the home design and the materials used. Thanks.

Love it... though just on a very superficial level I wish there was less black... ie., I find the black exterior + black floors depressing.
Very valid comment, Vmurt. If this was your home, what would you replace the black with?
