- This stunning Sydney home is the first certified Passive House in Australia built with cross-laminated timber (CLT). The two-story timber extension features high levels of insulation and triple-glazed windows, minimising the need for heating or cooling.

Great information tool, regarding service points, ethernet, power, lighting plumbing fitout, how are these incorporating within the walls and ceilings
This is absolutely stunning, my wife and I live in Canada and are looking at doing a passive house cabin from CLT, the lot has already been purchased. My wife is an Architect and currently going through the passive house course (I’ve been soaking it all in as well). One of the questions I have is how do you run the electrical and plumbing in CLT? We would like the same look through all interior partition walls. Any advice would help. Absolutely beautiful, Bravo to the team!
I like how it only takes 15 seconds to grow back all the trees that were chopped down to build this. We should just build everything out of wood.
Great job. So clean and simple. Is there a follow up on the insulation and water barrier or can you please tell me what systems were used. Cheers from the NC mountains
CLT doesn’t need insulation.
depends on the climate and the thickness of the panels . it is generally much cheaper and a higher R value is achieved using insulation on the exterior .Plus it provides protection from the elements and avoids future maintenance . in theory you are correct but it is rarely if ever done in Europe.
lovely jubbley
I appreciate your job and this video. I’m an architect in Korea and interested in building with CLT. Could you please let me know the material price /m2 and construction(assembly) price.
What is the cost per square metre for clt house? Thanks
hi my vietnamese friend, it is generally 10% more expensive than lightweight timber. but theres extra cost for passivehouse construction.
less than 25? in Australia? for last 5 years? no way.
Hows business?
Looks great. Well done. However, I take objection to the virtue signaling by stating carbon savings without verifying any calculations.
Having worked in forestry, the whole carbon equivalence calculations are entirely dubious and impossible to substantiate. To say ‘all the timber used was grown in 15 seconds’ is absolutely ludicrous. e.g. You'd need to include all fossil fuel related maintenance costs from woodlot clearing, planting and maintenance to harvest, transportation to milling, transportation to factory processing, associated materials like glue etc, then transportation to site, including all machinery outlay & maintenance costs for every stage of the process etc, etc.
Was the timber harvested from native forest or was it destroyed by State Forests and replanted with non-endemic monoculture wood lots? Either way, you have permanently decimated the natural fauna & flora and replaced it with a ‘dead’ monoculture.
It’s great to see houses being designed with an eye toward sustainability. However we still have a long way to go before the processes live up to their claims. A much more integrated approach must become the standard. There are plenty of models to build from, including so called ‘primitive cultures’ that were truly sustainable for thousands of years before we got so ‘clever’ with our technology.
Placing a nice Industry approved plaque on a building that certifies sustainable standards is fine, but let’s not kid ourselves that this necessarily reflects the highest possible standards we are capable of.
