The home of our client Ryan Parkes Building
@ryanparkesbuilding is on Sustainable House Day
@sustainablehouseday this year! It will be open for in-person tours on the 17th May 2026.
The home was designed with a clear goal: to show that an energy-efficient, high-performance house doesn’t need to be large or extravagant to be comfortable, resilient and beautiful. It was designed and built with a strong focus on high-performance building principles, while remaining practical and cost-conscious.
At 114 square metres, the house remains intentionally compact. Keeping the footprint modest allowed concentrating resources on building quality, while maximising space for a productive garden and strong indoor–outdoor connections. The result is a home that is efficient, comfortable and highly functional.
Thermal performance was prioritised from the outset. The building envelope features BINQ high-quality double-glazed windows, continuous insulation, and careful detailing to minimise thermal bridging. Particular attention was paid to airtightness, with the aim of reducing uncontrolled air leakage and improving energy efficiency, comfort and durability.
