The home seamlessly combines luxury and function. Can you walk
us through the design of key spaces, such as the sunken lounge
and chef’s kitchen?
This home was designed around the lifestyle of a family, setting the
tone with a palette of organic materials and thoughtful layouts.
Designed as a conversation pit, the sunken lounge is ideal for
gathering with friends and family. With the click of a button,
a 3-meter-wide dropdown screen turns the lounge into a cinema
room, perfect for amazing movie nights. Our kids loved it so much
they preferred staying in over going out to the movies.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream and features stunning natural quartzite
marble. The soft, sand-poured hues are truly one of the most
beautiful stones on earth. We’ve whipped up incredible dishes on
the Teppanyaki plate and impressed guests with hot-batter ice cream
straight from the steam oven.
The north garden features an entertaining area with a built-in wood
BBQ, a swimming pond with a tranquil waterfall, and a daybed that
overhangs the natural pond—perfect for dipping your toes in the
pure water or going for a quick plunge.
The Hütt 01 has received numerous awards and even been
featured on Grand Designs Australia. How has this recognition
influenced your perspective on sustainable architecture?
We feel incredibly humbled and excited that sustainability, which
is so close to our hearts, resonates so strongly with others and has
garnered such positive attention. We hope it inspires more people to
explore sustainable alternatives that create a better home—both for
themselves and for the planet.
Above all, we hope that this home brings as much joy, wellness and
happiness to its next owner as it has to us, and continues to inspire
future generations to prioritise sustainability in their own lives.
The Hütt 01 PassivHaus is on the market with Jellis Craig
Inner North. Contact Sam Rigopoulos for more details.
