Northcote Project

Wurundjeri-willam / Woiwurrung

The brief for the Northcote project was to create a place for connection and place to make memories. The home needed to adapt with the needs of a young family over time whilst minimising environmental impact and maximising the potential of an inner suburban site situated adjacent to a trainline.

The resulting design is a free flowing urban sanctuary that connects with and enhances the site via biophilic design principals. The structure brings together three modules to create a “u” shape footprint which encourages visual and physical connection to a central courtyard and productive gardens.

Passive solar 7 star design principals, offsite modular construction and sustainable materials integrated with operational efficiencies such as solar power and hot water and rainwater harvesting, minimise the overall environmental impact of the home.

The unassuming facade evokes curiosity. However once inside, the home shines with distinctive family character and environmental connectivity.

Our approach

Modular homes

Ecoliv draws inspiration from the lands and waters enriched by the stories, traditions, and deep knowledge of First Nations peoples.

We acknowledge and celebrate the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the past, present, and future across our country, including the Bunurong/Boon Wurrung people of the land where we predominantly operate.

Ecoliv is dedicated to engaging in meaningful partnerships and consultations with First Nations communities to ensure that our actions align with their aspirations and priorities.

Through our Indigenous Reconciliation Strategy, we strive to contribute to a more inclusive and unbiased society, recognizing that true reconciliation requires ongoing effort, education, and mutual respect.
