Viminalis,

Bandicoot Crt, Live at the Cape, Cape Paterson

Viminalis, named after the Eucalyptus Viminalis Manna Gum, was designed with sustainability built into every decision, not added on afterwards. Materials that lock in carbon rather than release it, paired with energy-smart systems, mean the home performs efficiently from day one, not just on paper.

Passive solar design shapes how the home works day to day — orientation and glazing capture warmth through winter, while natural airflow keeps the home cool through summer without relying on mechanical cooling. Materials and colours reflect the tones of the surrounding landscape, so the home sits comfortably within the biodiversity of the Live at the Cape community rather than standing apart from it.

With a 9-star energy rating and a rooftop solar system, Viminalis delivers genuine day-to-day performance: lower running costs, less reliance on the grid, and a smaller footprint over the life of the home.

Viminalis was also the winner of the 2022 Master Builders Victoria Regional Building Awards 'Best Sustainable Home.
