Growing Up Suburban

Combining passive design and modern technology to create a light filled, energy efficient suburban home.

Growing up Suburban is one in a series of collaborations between The Mill and 360 Building Solutions over more than a decade. Having completed many projects together over the years, Growing Up Suburban was the chance for the Mill team to design space for one of the 360 Building Solutions’ directors and his family, and to showcase the great skill of the team in producing residential homes of high thermal performance.

Designed to embrace life within the suburbs, as well as the often harsh Canberra climate, the 8 star NaTHERS dwelling creates sun drenched living spaces that open to both the garden and pool beyond. The primary bedroom takes pride of place within the lush green setting, and provides an element of pure luxury with timber framed windows and resort style ensuite. Family bedrooms are placed upstairs to allow for maximum garden space on the small block within a new suburb, and all enjoy natural light and outlook.

Growing Up Suburban celebrates all things about life in the suburbs, and will be enjoyed for years to come.
