About this project

Solaire Properties’ Vanquish is the result of three years of research and development and is the largest architecturally-designed passive house in Australia with 458sq m floor space on a 454sq m site.

It has a 12m light-sanitised freshwater pool, an integrated heat pump and hybrid solar inverter system, 34m of sliding glazed glass windows and boasts a 90 per cent reduction in heating and cooling loads. 

Reverse engineering the requirement of a European home to keep heat in, the home is cool to suit the home’s sub-tropical environment.
