PROJECT: Wellington Mill

A high-performance family home in harmony with its rural surroundings.

Tucked into the rolling landscape of Ferguson Valley, this modest family home combines rural simplicity with high-performance design.

Building with purpose.

Architect: Leanhaus

Built to Passive House principles, the home balances comfort, sustainability, and resilience.

Every element was considered to optimise the living experience and minimise environmental impact. From the airtight construction and double-glazed windows to the mechanical ventilation system that maintains a consistent temperature and clean indoor air year-round.

Crafted for the environment.

The raised timber-framed structure meets bushfire zone standards while highlighting natural materials and craftsmanship. Iron Ash window awnings and Weathertex Weathergroove cladding bring warmth and texture to the contemporary design, complementing the home’s rural setting.
