Today it has been announced Clarendon Homes will be Landcom’s building partner to construct Eco-Living Display Homes at The Ponds.
Three display homes will be built showcasing innovative sustainability concepts and products for the project home industry and general housing market.
Landcom has partnered with a recognised project builder to ensure its eco-living concept reaches the broader housing market.
The concept is one of many innovative sustainable initiatives the organisation is currently implementing throughout NSW to provide leadership to the housing industry.
The display homes will demonstrate innovative design, materials and products that will help reduce the environmental impact of a project home while integrating best practice principles.
Three different themes will be highlighted in the homes including current best practice (house one), recycled products (house two) and independent energy, water and waste (house three).
Chief Executive Officer of Clarendon Residential Homes, Maurice Felizzi, said the company prides itself on being an environmentally conscious builder through its designs and commitment to sustainable practices and materials used.
“We expect to complete the project within the next 12 months, with construction of the first house to start in the next couple of months,” Ms Felizzi said.
In addition to the display homes, Landcom is seeking registrations of interest from manufacturers and distributors of innovative building products interested in showcasing their details on its www.ecolivingdisplayhomes.com.au website.
The aim of the website is to become an online resource for the construction industry and home owners looking to build sustainable homes.
Landcom and Clarendon Homes will review and select products from the website to be used in the construction and fit-out of the three display homes.
When complete, the website will comprise a database of innovative building products, information about the designs on display in homes, general advice about sustainable products in the home and the construction process underpinning the three sustainable houses.
