Patanga Estate, located in a bushfire prone zone, is a prime example of sustainable, off grid development on a greenfield site. Anchored in a conceptual framework of environmental stewardship, resilience, and community connection. The strategic placement of structures optimises solar gain and bushfire resilience. Solid stone flooring and low VOC paint contribute to greater indoor air quality, showcasing a commitment to functional excellence. Interdisciplinary collaboration with engineers, ecologists and landscape architects enriches the project, while economically prudent decisions align with long term sustainability goals. Patanga Estate transforms a greenfield site into a client centric, off grid haven, meeting modern living needs while embodying environmental responsibility.
