High Performance Home Designs
Designed for life. Built to perform.
At Two Hammers Construction, we believe homes should do more than look good on day one. They should feel comfortable in every season, support the way you actually live, and perform consistently for decades to come.
Our High Performance Home designs have been created to challenge the “bigger is better” mindset and offer a smarter, more intentional way to build.
These homes prioritise thermal comfort, healthy indoor air quality, energy efficiency and longevity — without compromising on architecture, beauty or liveability.
Developed in collaboration with high-performance architects and delivered by a builder deeply experienced in Passive House principles, each design is a carefully considered starting point — not a rigid, one-size-fits-all solution.
Two Homes. One Shared Philosophy.
The Breathe House and Rise House represent two expressions of the same core belief:
that high-performance living should feel effortless.
Both designs are grounded in the fundamentals of building science — airtightness, insulation, high-performance glazing, ventilation and orientation — but translated into homes that feel warm, light-filled and adaptable to changing stages of life.
Whether you’re drawn to a compact, highly efficient footprint or a home designed to evolve and expand over time, these designs offer flexibility without compromise.
The Rise House
More Than a Plan — A Framework for Living
These designs are not off-the-shelf house plans.
They are thoughtfully developed frameworks that can be adapted to suit your site, lifestyle and future needs — whether that’s adding a studio, scaling bedrooms, introducing a mezzanine, or tailoring finishes and materials.
Every option is intentional. Every decision serves performance, comfort and long-term value.
