Sustainable housing is great for the environment but also the hip pocket nerve with long term reduced energy costs with an embedded green electricity network with no gas bills means our current owners only spend approximately $60 per calendar month on electricity bills. The passive design does not require air-conditioning however, there are multiple fans installed for those few continuous hot days in summer, hence reducing heating power bills and the highly efficient heat pumps which power shared hydronic heating and hot water systems reduce power bills Other savings are super-fast, commercial internet connections shared by the whole building for a lower individual cost, access to car-sharing and public transport with the train and tram a short walk away which lessens the need for a private car space.

The communal laundry with Fisher and Paykel washing machines and eco-friendly detergents is also included and creates a friendly meeting place. The round decked area with considered seating, dining table with chairs, small stage and an induction cooktop is a design feat.
