When architect Ben Caine was designing a super high energy performance, timber framed home on a laneway block in coastal Perth, he was conscious of not creating another bespoke hard-to-replicate home built purely for “magazine fodder”.

“Good performance homes should be available to more people, not less,” the Leanhaus architect told The Green List.

Like all Ben’s high-performance designs, this two-bed, two bathroom, plus study home in Scarborough known as Abbetthaus is elegant in its simplicity.
