Touted as ‘Australia’s premium sustainable housing project’, The Cape, in Cape Paterson, has now opened its doors to its newest 8.1-star energy efficient home, Seastar, an energy and water efficient coastal home that is said to be ‘within the top tier of sustainable homes in Australia.’

Featuring state-of-the-art energy efficient design, construction and fit out, according to the builder, Seastar also boasts a suite of smart and innovative features to keep the occupants comfortable in all weather conditions, like a burnished concrete slab in north facing rooms for thermal mass with 100mm thick underslab insulation, recycled brickwork, a 4.8kW solar photovoltaic system with redback 5.0kW hybrid ready invertor and electric vehicle charge point.

According to designer and builder, Carl Talbot, “Every square metre of this home represents the very achievable sustainable objective all Australian builders can aspire to and deliver.”
