Recipe House: The Kingfisher

In 2017, Sustainable undertook a journey with Tobias and Hilke Volbert to design and construct their affordable, adaptable and environmentally conscious Recipe House. Throughout their journey to create their dream home, they engaged in and trusted our Sustainable process to come out with a truly individual and sustainable home.

Watch “The Kingfisher Recipe House” video below to grasp an understanding of the Sustainable Recipe House journey.

The Kingfisher Series — Podcast Video 4: Why are we still creating developments on “life support” in 2020?

Brett McKenzie sheds light on the reality of today’s housing developments. Here at Sustainable we aim to inspire people to take on the responsibility to create design lead homes that create better community living rather than contribute to larger social and environmental issues.

“So yes the housing stock may be cheaper, but effectively you are buying cheaper products [and] a cheaper system. In the long term, if you have a design lead process with long term thinking, you end up with a more cost effective home diluted over a longer period of time.” — Sustainable CEO Brett McKenzie

The Kingfisher Series — Podcast Video 3: Sustainable Housing Outcomes

Sustainable ensures that our design lead homes perform unbelievably from a sustainable and energy perspective. In considering the environment and sustainable concepts before constructing the building, ensures that we are maximising passive energy.

The Kingfisher Series — Podcast Video 2: Recipe Design Savings & Waste Management

Through our design and construction expertise, Sustainable helps you generate recipe design savings, of both time and money. Cost is further reduced through our waste management approach – recycling 98% of the construction waste.

The Kingfisher Series — Podcast Video 1: Sustainable Solar & Orientation

Sustainable understands sensible design, considering compass-north and solar-north, and positioning homes based on the orientation of where the sun comes up and goes down.
