Stllhaus is a precision designed living system created for calmer, healthier and more certain everyday life.

It combines architectural design, high performance construction and carefully resolved systems into one complete home. Each Stllhaus is designed to perform passively and consistently through changing weather, giving owners greater certainty around comfort, air quality, durability and long term value.

Stllhaus is for people who want an architecturally designed high performance home without the cost and uncertainty of a fully custom process.

It offers a considered middle ground between a one off architect designed home and a volume built house.

It is for people who value comfort, health, design quality and long term performance, and want a more certain way to create a better home.

Stllhaus works through a clear eight step process that takes you from model selection to a completed high performance home.

1. Choose a model
   Select the Stllhaus home that best suits your site, lifestyle, budget and long term needs.

2. Tailor it to your site
   We check the chosen Stllhaus is suited to orientation, access, views, planning conditions and site specific requirements.

3. Confirm the pathway
   We establish the approvals, consultant inputs, cost pathway and construction strategy before manufacture begins.

4. Precision manufacture
   The major building elements are made in a controlled factory environment for greater accuracy, quality and speed.

5. Install
   The home is assembled on site with a more predictable construction sequence and reduced site disruption.

6. Complete
   Finishes, services, landscaping connections and final details are completed so the home is ready for occupation.

7. Maintain
   Clear guidance helps you care for the home, protect performance and plan for future maintenance with confidence.

8. Live better
   Enjoy a calmer, healthier and more comfortable home designed to perform consistently over time.

A Stllhaus home is designed to use less, support more and create a better everyday life.

It does this through lower energy demand, cleaner air, steadier comfort, quieter rooms and a calmer way to live.

With the right solar, battery and water systems, it can also reduce reliance on external resources and help the home contribute more than it consumes over time.

No. Stllhaus is a precision designed home system, not a kit home.

A kit home typically supplies a set of parts for others to assemble.

Stllhaus brings together architecture, high performance design, precision manufacturing and delivery into a more complete pathway.

The goal is to create a better home with greater certainty, not simply supply components.

Stllhaus is architect designed, but it is not custom architecture in the traditional sense.

Each home is based on a carefully resolved floor plan and building system, helping reduce uncertainty, shorten timelines and create a clearer pathway to cost and delivery.

The right model is selected for the right site, with orientation, access, levels, planning conditions and ground works assessed before proceeding.

Interior fitout, finishes and cladding can be selected from our resolved options, with the opportunity to customise these elements within the predesigned floor plan.

The core home remains intentionally resolved, which is what allows Stllhaus to offer greater certainty than a fully custom process.

Some elements may be tailored to your site, orientation and requirements but the core design system remains intentionally resolved.

Yes, within the guardrails that protect the value of the Stllhaus system.

You can personalise the home through interior fitout, finishes, cladding and selected design options within the predesigned floor plan.

The floor plan itself is not customised, because the planning, performance and construction logic has already been carefully resolved.

This protects quality, cost certainty, build speed, energy performance and long term durability.

No home suits every site, so every Stllhaus begins with a site suitability review.

We assess your land, orientation, slope, access, planning controls, services, bushfire requirements and local conditions before confirming whether a Stllhaus model is suitable.

This helps ensure the right model is placed on the right site, with the right pathway for approvals, ground works and delivery.

A high performance home is designed to be more comfortable, efficient, healthy and resilient than a standard new home.

It uses better orientation, insulation, airtightness, glazing, ventilation and construction detailing to create a more stable indoor environment.

For Stllhaus, this thinking is guided by Passivhaus, a rigorous building standard focused on comfort, air quality and very low energy demand.

The result is a calmer, healthier home that stays warmer in winter, cooler in summer, quieter, fresher and less dependent on constant heating and cooling

Passivhaus matters because it moves a home from minimum compliance to measured comfort, resilience and performance.

Many Australian homes are built to minimum standards, which can still leave people with heat loss, overheating, draughts, condensation, high running costs and rooms that never feel quite right.

For a home expected to last for generations, minimum compliance is not a strong enough benchmark. Standards will continue to rise, and homes built only to today’s minimum are more likely to fall behind best practice over time.

Passivhaus provides a best practice aligned standard through careful modelling, airtight construction, high performance insulation, quality windows and filtered fresh air.

When taken through certification, it is also tested as built, giving owners greater confidence that performance has been delivered, not just promised.

For Stllhaus, that means a calmer, quieter and more consistently comfortable home through changing weather, with less energy needed to keep it that way.

Yes, Passivhaus certification is the recommended pathway for Stllhaus homes.

Each Stllhaus model has been tested against generic site conditions, giving a strong starting point for performance, comfort and energy demand.

Final performance can vary depending on individual site conditions, orientation, exposure, shading, climate zone and project scope.

Certification provides independent verification that the home has been designed, modelled and tested to meet the Passivhaus standard.

It does involve an independent certifier, additional documentation and associated fees, so the final pathway can be confirmed with each client before proceeding.

Stllhaus includes the resolved design system, performance strategy and precision made building components needed to create a high performance home.

The exact inclusions depend on the selected model, site conditions, specification level and project pathway.

As a guide, Stllhaus brings together the architectural design, predesigned floor plan, building fabric, performance approach, interior and cladding options, manufacturing coordination and delivery pathway.

Site specific items such as ground works, services, planning requirements, bushfire requirements, authority upgrades, landscaping and certification fees are confirmed separately before you commit.

A clear inclusions and exclusions schedule is provided for each project, so you understand what is included, what is optional and what is site dependent.

Stllhaus does not include site specific works or external items that vary from project to project as standard.

Landscaping, pools, fencing, automation, barbeque areas, loose furniture, window furnishings and blinds are not included as standard.

Site works, service connections, ground conditions, authority requirements and site specific engineering are priced separately because every site is different.

These items are identified during the site review and outlined with indicative pricing before you commit, so the project pathway is clear from the beginning.

Stllhaus pricing is intended to sit between a fully custom high performance home and a conventional volume built house.

The final cost depends on the selected model, site conditions, location, access, planning requirements, services and finish selections.

Stllhaus gives you a more resolved starting point than a custom architectural process, while offering a higher level of design, performance and construction thinking than a typical volume built home.

The first step is to choose the right model and complete a site suitability review, so the cost pathway can be properly understood before you commit.

Yes. Each Stllhaus home is delivered by a preselected licensed partner builder who understands the Stllhaus system.

Stllhaus creates an integrated pathway between design, manufacturing and construction, but the home still requires the correct approvals and licensed building delivery.

A separate building contract is agreed between you and the partner builder, with the process coordinated through the Stllhaus delivery pathway.

This helps protect quality, cost clarity, programme and performance from design through to completion.

Yes, Stllhaus can support an owner builder pathway where the responsibilities and performance protections are clearly defined.

Under this pathway, the owner builder is responsible for site works, approvals, services, ground works and the broader completion of the project.

Stllhaus then installs the high performance building envelope and tests it for air tightness and weather tightness before handing it back to the owner builder.

The owner builder then completes the cladding, fitout and remaining works using Stllhaus instructions to protect the building envelope and maintain the modelled and tested performance.

Yes, Stllhaus can work in regional Victoria where the right model, site and delivery pathway align.

Regional sites can be well suited to Stllhaus because greater build certainty, efficient site time, comfort and long term performance often matter even more outside metropolitan areas.

Suitability depends on location, access, planning controls, services, bushfire requirements, ground conditions and the availability of an appropriate delivery pathway.

The first step is a site suitability review to confirm whether a Stllhaus model is the right fit.

Stllhaus is built around a more controlled pathway, with the ambition of a 100 day construction period once the right conditions are in place.

The total project timeline depends on site suitability, planning approvals, documentation, manufacturing, builder availability, site works and authority requirements.

The 100 day ambition relates to the construction period, rather than the full process from first enquiry to move in.

A clear programme is confirmed once the model, site and project pathway have been reviewed.

Planning approval is managed through the Stllhaus process, but permit costs and planning outcomes are site specific.

Planning requirements vary depending on the land, local controls, overlays, neighbourhood character, bushfire requirements and the selected Stllhaus model.

Some projects may require planning approval before building approval, while others may have a more straightforward pathway.

Once your site and preferred model have been reviewed, we help clarify the likely approval pathway and manage the process with the required consultants.

Planning permit fees, consultant costs, authority fees and related approval costs are separate, and planning approval cannot be guaranteed.
