Energy Efficient House at Metford (2000)

Landcom identified a need for an energy efficient home in the mainstream market, largely catered for by project home builders.

In November 1998, Landcom enlisted the support of Maitland City Council and instigated a competition for the design of an "Affordable Energy Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Home" that complied with SEDA's five star energy rating.

The competition was won by Newcastle architect Glen Spicer of EJE Architects and the winning design was built by a local project home builder, Jones Homes.

The Energy Efficient Home in Ferraby Drive at Melaleuca Estate, Metford, was a Landcom initiative to showcase energy efficient living to home buyers and builders. It was used as Landcom’s sales office for 6 years enabling us to promote the cost savings and benefits of energy and water efficiency to prospective home buyers visiting our sales office.

Landcom sold the house in 2006 when its Metford development project was completed.
