I build this house in Herston, Brisbane. It's a compact house ('coz that's trendy) at 100m², with three bedrooms and one bathroom. It take 12 months to build and was completed in 2016.

You can see live temperature results here (if my computer is on!):

Interesting parts of the house:

• Based on Passive House principles - airtight, no air-conditoining, heat-exchanger, passive solar design.
• Phase Change Material - thermal mass without the weight.
• Custom built benches from Cadagee trees felled on site
• Recycled flooring, deck and some cabientry
• Monitoring system (in progress) for temperature using OpenEnergyMonitor and OneWire sensors
• Thin-client IT infrastructure, with central hub
• Lots of compact storage: murphy bed, folding desks, custom shelving, IT rack
• Cypress framing and weatherboard (termite resistant without pesticide)
• Vapour-permeable membrane, with external polystrenene insulation

Interesting parts of the process:

• built with HelperX workers
• building a house as "skilled amateur" : can you do it?
• all house plans are available to download as PDF and Revit
• details on costings and budgeting with exact figures
• using recycled / reused materials, versus new materials
• using Revit for scheduling and takeoffs
