Ruskin Elwood
Architecture - Multi Residential - Constructed | Commissioner: HIP V. HYPE | Creator: HIP V. HYPE
Ruskin Elwood presents best practice in sustainable design and construction across four premium residences.
With architecture by Fieldwork, Ruskin Elwood is able to be run off 100% renewable energy. Onsite solar panels, electric heat pumps for hot water and Tesla Powerwall batteries achieve better living for a better future.
Ruskin Elwood comprises four, premium, low impact residences. Each residence comprises either three or four bedrooms across three levels, each with its own lift and with north facing windows that lead out to expansive terraces overlooking Elwood Canal that provides a generous space for entertaining and relaxing.
Landscaping by SBLA is designed to complement sustainable living with a selection of low maintenance, indigenous coastal flora chosen to attract a variety of native birdlife, create a landscaped buffer zone between the residences and the Elwood Canal trail and foster a visual connection between indoors and out.
At the core of Ruskin Elwood is a belief that considered design and construction is vital for a fossil fuel-free future.
Davison Collaborative
Architecture - Multi Residential - Constructed | Commissioner: HIP V. HYPE | Creator: HIP V. HYPE
The Davison Collaborative is a three-townhouse project in Brunswick designed in collaboration with Archier.
The project was delivered in accordance with the principles of the deliberative development model known as Collaborative Development by HIP V. HYPE. The model allows for collaborators to come together to create better quality, more sustainable and more financially accessible townhouse style homes in inner urban locations where property prices are increasingly forcing people out of the market.
The Davison Collaborative is a case study on sustainable density, transforming one suburban block into three, 150sqm fossil fuel free, 100% electric homes.
Solar panels, sonnen battery technology, electric heat pumps for hot water and hydronic heating achieve 8+ out of 10 star energy rating.
