2024 HIA Australian GreenSmart Home of the Year

WINNER: 360 Building Solutions and Light House ArchiScience

Canberra Sustainable Builder Energy Efficient Award Winning

We’re thrilled to announce that Oska’s House, a collaboration between 360 Building Solutions and Light House ArchiScience, has been awarded the prestigious 2024 HIA Australian GreenSmart Home of the Year!

Redefining Sustainable Living in Canberra

Nestled in the heart of suburban Canberra, Oska’s House is a modern reimagining of the classic red brick home. Designed with solar passive principles and optimised using NatHERS energy modelling, this home proves that energy efficiency and beautiful design go hand in hand. The result? A functional, flowing family home that maximises space and comfort while minimising environmental impact.

Smart Design, Quality Construction

Sustainability was at the core of this build, with a strong focus on reusing salvaged materials and making thoughtful, high-performance design choices. Despite its smaller footprint, Oska’s House demonstrates that exceptional outcomes come from smart design, quality construction, and meticulous attention to detail—not just bigger budgets or more square metres.

Leading the Way in Energy-Efficient Homes

At 360 Building Solutions, we’re passionate about building homes that are not only beautiful but better for the environment and more efficient for homeowners. Winning both Custom Home of the Year and the Overall GreenSmart Home of the Year is a testament to what’s possible when innovation, sustainability and craftsmanship come together.

This award reinforces our commitment to leading the way in energy-efficient building in Canberra, proving that bigger doesn’t always mean better – but smarter does.

Passive Solar Building Design

Passive solar building design is sustainable building design that takes advantage of the climate to maintain a confortable temperature in the home. Windows, walls and floors are made to collect, store and distribute solar energy in the form of heat in winter and disperse solar heat in summer. Passive design reduces the need for you to use heating or cooling devices such as air-conditioners, gas heaters or other forms of electrical devices to control the temperature.
