This is a Willemsen-designed home, but not as you know it. Every surface, system, and space has been reworked, rebuilt, and upgraded to deliver not only comfort and style, but outstanding energy performance. The result is a high-performing, low-maintenance home that achieves ultra energy efficiency while excelling in function, comfort, and long-term durability.
Originally chosen for its floorplan, walkable location, and established gardens, the home has undergone a deep, purpose-led renovation in consultation with LAROS Technologies. Every upgrade has been guided by Passivhaus principles, with an uncompromising focus on thermal control, airtightness, energy recovery, and system efficiency, creating a home that uses significantly less energy to heat, cool, and operate year-round
The front of the home opens to a large living area featuring durable BauBuche laminated timber floors and full-height triple-glazed Dopfner windows. These German-engineered windows are fitted throughout the home, providing thermal stability, noise reduction, and UV protection. The building has been re-insulated and sealed with Pro Clima membranes to minimise heat loss and drafts. A decentralised LUNOS Energy Recovery Ventilation system provides continuous fresh air while retaining internal temperature.
The open-plan kitchen has been custom built for performance and flow. It features an integrated Siemens pyrolytic oven, induction cooktop, dishwasher, Intergrated miele fridge, and a recirculating Falmec E.ion air purification rangehood. A Schock granite sink and soft-close joinery complete the space. The kitchen connects to the dining area and rear garden through triple-glazed sliding doors, creating strong indoor–outdoor connection.
The Sanden heat pump hot water system has been relocated externally to maximise internal laundry space, which now includes additional benching and cabinetry.
Located at the rear of the ground floor, the main bedroom is designed for comfort and privacy. It features custom wardrobes and a peaceful garden outlook. The ensuite is fitted with quality fixtures, a floating vanity with storage, and a large walk-in shower with humidity-controlled ventilation.
Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, each with built-in robes and garden views, The main bathroom includes a remote-operated, rain-sensor Velux Integra skylight, a spacious bath/shower, floating vanity, and integrated lighting.
Outside, the native gardens have been professionally landscaped for impact and ease, with bluestone retaining walls, paved walkways, and a fully automated watering system. Upgraded stormwater works support the landscaping year-round. Positioned in a peaceful street with direct access to Mt Taylor, it's also just minutes to Marist College, local shops, parks, Woden Town Centre and transport striking the rare balance between nature, amenity, and city access.
This is more than a home - it's a benchmark for sustainable design, timeless style, and intelligent living.
