Case study: Green objectives influence Campbell rebuild

A balance between the home and its surrounding natural environment was a huge priority for SOTA Custom Homes’ directors when they began planning their knockdown rebuild project in Campbell.

They demolished a 1960s house with a concrete asbestos roof cover, but there was one aspect to the block director Rama Heidari was keen to retain.

“One of the features of the original block that continues to be appealing to us is the presence of the 420-year-old yellow box tree, which is the source of the famous premium yellow box honey,” Rama says.

The subdivided block will house two new homes, including a four-bedroom property at 98 Blamey Crescent designed by Terry Ring.

“We had a particular set of green living objectives in mind for this house to include and the location sounded perfect to offer that,” Rama says.

“As environmental scientists our passion is to see and prove that there is a perfect balance that must and can be achieved between the buildings and the natural environment.”

The beautifully appointed home is being sold off the plan and will feature high ceilings, engineered oak timber flooring, a gas fireplace and 6000-litre rain tank for irrigation.

The designer kitchen will include stone bench tops, a butler’s pantry and quality Bosch appliances.

No.98 Blamey Crescent, Campbell, is for sale by negotiation through Peter Blackshaw Manuka agent Debbie Maddigan. Phone 0413 621 131. Price guide: $1.28 million. EER: 6.5 Inspect: Saturday, 12.10-12.50pm and Sunday, Noon-12.45pm.
