An Architect's Own Family Off-Grid Sustainable Home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 жов 2019
- Melbourne architect, Jerry Wolveridge of Wolveridge Architects, bought the rural property of his clients, and after a study of local agricultural buildings, decided to design a simple, timber-clad pitched off-grid home. Jerry went a step further, adopting the construction methods of Australian sheds, using steel portal frames and avoiding typical "home" materials.
This off-grid home relies heavily on a smart plan arrangement, with the house being long and thin, allowing for optimal cross ventilation which helps during the hot Australian summers. To help heat the home during the chilly Victorian winters, there is a wood-fire boiler and radiator grills and panels. Jerry includes his children into the off-grid living, having guessing games revolving around the internal temperatures.

Kudos to the architect for actually talking about a design flaw (his thoughts on the amount of glazing throughout the home) as opposed to only highlighting all of the cool stuff. Lovely home!
Who else is now dreaming of going off the grid?

Me, Kevin Singapore
I have been dreaming of this for a very long time..
What's one piece of "normalcy" you'd like in your own off-grid home?
I'm saving up to go off grid
That cat by the sofa is having the time of its life .
The good kitty was definitely a highlight of the shoot for me!
Yeah, there is a reason why a lot of modern homes in America, Brazil and parts of Asia incorporate an outer sheathing of decorative slat work or open masonry blocks to shade the home and create art with those shadow effects on the walls. It really does help with the heat retention.
Beautiful Jerry - the way the wood weathers makes the units more unobtrusive. I imagine the wood has integral oils to do this & also like the way all the energy saving devices are integrated and hidden - for once also the way you have integrated the photovoltaics is also like a swiss watch - like it, well done.
What a gorgeous off-grid design. Just beautiful. Well done!
In the winter I plug in my electric floors into my solar PV system for heating. In the summer I unplug them and use cross ventilation all night for day time cooling. With high insulation in attic, walls and floor your house will surprise you passively. Beauty house in the country!
This building is a jewel.
Beautiful home. Large trees would sure help shade and beautify the landscape.
He has solar panels though... So tall, high trees would impede solar panels from getting enough light.
Beautiful home
Beautiful design 🤩
sooooo cool!! beautiful plus off grid... love it
What a seriously chill guy.
Jerry was great to work with.
I can imagine this is the kind of dad who gets really excited about the functions of the house and like, during a hot day he keeps asking the kids how cool the house is and they begin getting annoyed, so he backs off... but then when theyve been asleep for a few hours, at like 2am, he wakes them up with great excitement and practically shouts at them "guess what temp. The house is right now guys!??!?!" And the kids start crying.
An easy fix would be a protruding overhang to reduce overheating. I know it would go against the agricultural aesthetic but traditional homes in hot climates sport a veranda specifically to reduce high internal temperatures.
or double glazing would do.
beautiful and honest
Beautiful design
I was just looking at the cat, how cute,she/he just inviting to be petted
Thnx again☺️🙊
I always love it when a home has a good kitty cat!
Oh that’s my dream ,,ranch life ,,,off grid ..,,animal foster home too /horses and dogs
THIS IS MY DREAM!
I like how it’s dark ..
What an extremely flawless terrace you have built. Did you consider to have more terraces to be more sun-protected?
I would have liked to seen the solar electrical system, batteries and such.
That’s what I dislike about this channels
Filming. You don’t see the house, just the people behind it talking and some snapshots
Exactly… what aspects of sustainability they considered? Nothing mentioned about material used… quite disappointing. Even the house was not shown properly so inside.
Domo plus Channel great episode😀
Class
"In this video, Melbourne architect Jerry Wolveridge shows us around his sustainable off-the-grid home" The way it was filmed it was more a bunch of snap shots rather than being showed around.

Exactly
Wolverine? That’s what I heard and therefore what I’m going to believe.
Hi i wonder how you can power you house with so few solar panels en if i have a battery
Would like to see more of the actual house
Sorry, it was one of my early videos. Maybe there could be a revisit episode?
Awesome material palette. Perhaps if you had more threes close to the house you wouldn't feel that way about glazing.
Think about the wildfire season, and a farm home clad in tinder dry wood. Trees are a no no.
To me the exterior does capture the agricultural feel, but I don't see that in the interior.
How much was the construction?
"That was not unlike..." Yikes. When did double negatives become common so common?
What was the energy rating of the home ?
in what way is this an off grid / sustainable home?
How is it not
Off grid sustainable home is not synonymous with earth ship type home.
La casa de mis sueños
Mumtaz/the best
Perhaps geothermal to heat and cool?
😍💪🏼👊🏼
My architect designed chair looks great but it is actually the most uncomfortable chair I’ve ever sat in 😀
Awesome video, but just curious, what does he mean by domestic materials? wouldn't local materials be more sustainable? Or am I just losing it lol
In this context, Jerry referred to “domestic material” as materials commonly used on residential homes, not locality speaking.
@@SimpleDwelling ohh okay! Thanks heaps :)
Bit dark innit?
Paint it white maybe? Thanks
the chair he's in tho...
I've been looking for one for years now.
Butterfly Chair, Argentinian design, now attributed solely to Jorge Hardoy. It's nice to look at, annoying to sit in.
Too bad you don't give a cohesive tour of any sort in this video.
That’s you projecting your expectations onto my channel.
I still prefer the outside light yellow wood look of asian style
This is how we supposed to live like..
not like those prison utopia mice experiment.
Looking alone??
This sounds like minecraft music

"sustainable" as word means little any more.
I'm not sure you understand the true meaning of the word
Can't get past the constant up-talk at the end of every phrase? Is this an Aussie architect thing? Hear it on so many videos with Aussie architects?
Yeah, i immediately chose uptick the playback speed to 1.5x😄
It’s just an Aussie thing
Robyn Caddell Aussies may do it but it’s not broadly an Aussie thing? I follow quite a few Aussie channels and precisely none of them do it with this pervasiveness? I also see a fair amount of Aussie tv & movies and it’s there but still wouldn’t say it’s moreso than other countries? I have been to Sydney a fair bit and definitely hear it but this guy is the end of every single sentence where a full stop would be?
Some of it harkens back to Irish roots.
Same thing as "like" in California :)
I like the farm aesthetic. But it appears too dark and depressing inside. Desperately in need of some skylights.
I'm guessing you might live somewhere cold and grey! Sky lights can work like laser beams in some parts of Oz, and white walls burn your eyeballs. Like he was saying, he should have more shade. Different climates, different needs!
piano drives me nuts
He looks like tony stark who's tired of being iron man and just resorted to building homes 🤣 that also explains why he can afford such a place 🤣
way too dark
Very dull why are people obsessed with grey, black, dark greens etc interiors
Why are some many other people obsessed with white interiors
Ties Pauelsen I know as it's simply uncouth
Depressing interiors, drab color palate and the details make it look like a unfinished garage inside. Not enough windows for me.
Modern brah.
@@thedownunderverse That may be bra, but still depressing.
If only i was a millionaire. Then I’d be able to spend someone’s life savings on a home like this and save a few dollars on my bills 🤩😐🖕
Wolveridge, ? LA ? Did deeper,
he could have at least run a comb through his hair
Why?
this music makes me want to puke. maybe no music next time plsss
