80% of monitored interior temperatures across Australia fall below the WHO’s minimum healthy indoor temperature of 18°C in winter. Cold indoor temperatures are associated with 6.5% of deaths in Australia, compared to 3.7% in Sweden. And approximately 90%
of the buildings that will exist in 2050 have already been built. Not mild stats by any means…! 😮‍💨

Our Passivhaus Technical Lead, Marcus Strang (PhD), has been exploring the scale of the EnerPHit opportunity in Australia and is excited to be presenting again at this year’s THRIVE conference.

Using case studies from certified residential EnerPHit builds, plus a school project in Ballarat with adaptive reuse elements, Marcus’ technical expertise will detail decisions, methods and long-term moisture safety considerations.

If you’re interested in hearing more, head along on Friday 26 June or get in touch with our Better Buildings team for more 🌿

We recently welcomed , Minister for Planning of Victoria to ParkLife 2, marking the commencement of construction of ParkLife 2 in Brunswick.

It was fantastic to have our key project contributors join us in marking this special milestone on Clifton Park, many of whom have worked together for several months (and years!) to bring this project to life. It takes a village…

Thank you to Thane for setting the tone, commencing with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony welcoming us to Wurundjeri Country.

It was a pleasure to break ground with a such a supportive and enthusiastic project team all united to achieve better 🌿

Our idea is simple, spend a night in a 8.5-star, all-electric apartment, experience better and take a couple of ideas home with you…

One for the construction fans... before we build up, we must build down. 🚧 Retention piling works are happening on site at ParkLife 2, enabling us to excavate safely next to an existing street and hold everything in place. The engineering that has to happen before you can do the bits above ground that people notice…!

20 months. 35 events. 2,000 people through the BINQ Lift n Slide doors…!

The Better Building Exchange has closed at 427 Albert Street, Brunswick to make way for ParkLife 2. And what a run it’s been. We started BBX in May 2024 with a simple idea: less talk, more action. A place where people could come together to explore ideas, skills, technologies and relationships to improve our cities and regions.

Together with a number of values-aligned businesses and organisations, we hosted over 35 public events. We also contributed over $35,000 in direct value to values-aligned organisations through complimentary event space hire, who just needed a room to do good work in.

Thank you to everyone who hosted, attended or took the mic. It’s been a privilege to watch the space used exactly the way it was intended... BBX isn’t done and we’re
already thinking about what comes next…!

Fresh off the press, HIP V. HYPE in the latest issue of magazine. 🙌 NTS pioneered one of the world’s most engaged communities around small footprint design and living. It’s a belief we share and have long talked about with the NTS team: that smaller spaces, designed well, can provide everything you need to live well.

A huge thank you to editor Elizabeth Price, DP Nam Tran and writer Jana Perković for making this happen. Jana and her little one 👶 visited the studio last year to spend time with the team in our natural habitat, shadowing everything that goes on in a day at HIP V. HYPE.

Head over to Never Too Small to pick up your copy and give it a read…!
