“We are very proud of the fact that we are leading the way with sustainable housing.”
Envisaged by sustainable community company The Green Wing, The Siding units each achieve at least a nine-star energy rating by harnessing the benefits of passive-solar design and including ample insulation to ensure minimal reliance on mechanical heating or cooling devices.
“The Green Wing was created by two couples with a vision to make a difference in the way people live in communities and we were privileged to help them realise this dream with The Siding,” Mrs Wright said.
The awards recognise the best in environmentally responsible housing across 12 award categories.
