A new era of architecturally-designed, sustainable homes is emerging in North Wright, inviting individuals to explore environmentally friendly living options. The Suburban Land Agency (SLA) is introducing 43 architecturally-designed homes in North Wright, each showcasing sustainable living practices within a climate-resilient and energy-efficient precinct designed to foster community engagement.
These homes set a new standard for community-focused living with compact floorplans and innovative designs. Ranging from two to three bedrooms, these homes boast high energy efficiency ratings, airtight construction, and self-sustaining electricity generation, aiming to achieve a net zero carbon footprint over their lifespan. With separate titles, homeowners can enjoy cost-efficient heating and cooling without body corporate fees.
The North Wright Sustainable Precinct emphasizes adaptability and growth, offering flexible floorplans for various needs and future expansions, along with communal spaces for gardens and community activities. Petra Oswald, SLA’s Built Form Program Manager, highlights the collaborative design process involving community members and First Nations design advisors to create a sustainable and culturally connected living environment.
These homes feature all-electric utilities, double glazed windows, heat recovery ventilation systems, rooftop solar panels, and lush landscaping with communal spaces. The project aims to showcase the potential of compact living spaces while incorporating sustainable features like seasonal gardens, green laneways, and communal garden areas.
Prospective homeowners and sustainability enthusiasts are invited to tour the display homes, showcasing the integration of sustainable practices and design elements. Petra Oswald emphasizes the unseen benefits of sustainable living, such as reduced energy consumption and bills, encouraging interested individuals to experience the innovative features firsthand.
The North Wright Sustainable Precinct Showcase Homes are located at Thwaites Crescent corner Ian Mudie Lane in Wright, open from Thursday to Sunday, offering a glimpse into the future of sustainable living. The project represents a significant step towards creating environmentally-conscious and community-centric living spaces in Canberra, setting a precedent for future developments in the region.
As Canberrans embrace the concept of sustainable living, initiatives like the North Wright Sustainable Precinct play a crucial role in promoting eco-friendly practices and fostering a sense of community among residents. By prioritizing environmental sustainability and community engagement, this project paves the way for a more conscious and connected way of living in the nation’s capital.
