No. 38 Victoria Street

No. 38 Victoria Street is a dual lot terrace home project that aligns with the second phase of our sustainable home master plan. The exterior of the home is simple and robust, with sustainable materials such as reinforced cement and timber wrapping the exterior. Despite its modest appearance, the interior of No. 38 Victoria Street is bright and light-filled.

To ensure the home is comfortable year-round, we have positioned the living areas to take advantage of north and east-facing light. All windows are double-glazed and fully operable for cross-flow ventilation, and the insulation has a high R-rating to provide additional warmth in the colder months. With these design elements, we have been able to achieve a minimum of 8.5 stars in the energy rating system for the home.

Outside, the home boasts a private outdoor area that is perfect for entertaining or relaxing. All of these features come together to create a comfortable and desirable living environment that also minimizes the environmental impact of the home.
