The project
Preston Lane Architects designed this family house in Box Hill South around a deep site running north to south. Bringing northern sunlight into the plan was a central part of the brief, alongside four bedrooms and space for family life.
The two-storey home incorporates heat-pump technology, solar generation and a battery system. MTO Engineers is credited for structural engineering and T&S Hoar Builders for construction. The house was completed in 2020.
