Atkinson Recycle
This classic Canberra 413 ex-govie has been transformed into a modern, all-electric, climate-resilient home.
In 1882 the Atkinson cycle was designed to provide efficiency at the expense of power density. In 2022, this little house was re-designed to provide efficiency at the expense of unnecessary floor area and embodied carbon.
