Oska's House takes out HIA Green Smart Home of the Year

On the 23rd of August, Jenny was in Hobart to attend the the HIA Future Homes Forum and the HIA Australian GreenSmart Awards. [Jenny also presented at the forum, about the Powerhaus App, but that’s a story for another blog coming soon).

Light House had three joint finalists in three different national categories:

  • Maggies House in the Renovation/Addition category (with builders EdwardRobert Builders)

  • Oska’s House in the Custom Built Home category (with builders 360 Building Solutions)

  • Theodore House in the Sustainable Home category (with builders 360 Building Solutions)

To Jenny’s enormous delight and surprise, Oska’s House won the Custom Home of the Year category and then proceeded to take out the OVERALL GreenSmart Home of the Year! Huge thanks to 360 Building Solutions for bringing our design to life so well.

It is so exciting for Light House to see smaller footprint and smaller budget homes winning awards at this level. Our message seems to be getting through. Bigger does NOT equal better.

You can read more about this lovely home in the AllHomes story about Oska’s House published on the 23rd of October and in an earlier RiotACT story from the 30th August.
