The home, designed by Hennebery Eddy Architects, has many energy efficient inclusions, like radiant floor heating, a large dedicated solar panel area on the roof, and a geo-exchange heat pump.

The home has been designed in a simple L-shaped plan, placing the main living and gathering spaces in a separate wing from guest and master bedroom spaces.
