News Story Summary:
Platypus Park is the first development of its type in the world. Introducing the most sustainable homes ever constructed, over 90 home sites using the Green Magic Homes patented and revolutionary construction system for Earth-Covered buildings.
Each home will be made with cutting-edge polymeric compounds using aero-space technology that offers the homeowner the ability to live completely integrated with nature.
A truly urban precinct for those who’s beliefs are focused on making the smallest footprint on the planet possible.
Situated high above the city of Lismore on the Bruxner Highway in picturesque Goonellabah, Platypus Park takes advantage of the rolling hills, the distant views, the natural contours of the ground and the surrounding waterways full of wildlife and platypus.
Platypus Park’s arrival heralds a community unique in every way.
Platypus Park is a combination of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes built into the hills and dales that make up this beautiful space.
Exceptional design defines each home with revolutionary additions that enables the home to take advantage of the insulation properties of a structure covered in its surrounds.
The typical result is a 75% reduction in the cost of heating or cooling the home. The roof of each home is covered in a garden that allows you to put your signature on your piece of history.
This new way of living with nature will elevate Lismore with this unique urban offering. It sets a new benchmark for style, liveability and uniqueness.
Our “elevational” berm design layouts consist of an exposed elevation or face, which positioned strategically, allows the sun to light and heat the interior, while soil covers the other sides and roof to protect and insulate the building.
The floor plans are arranged to allow common areas and bedrooms to share heat and light from the sun’s exposure.
The earth surrounding the house provides excellent soundproofing, protects against the impact of the extreme outdoor temperatures, requires less outside maintenance, blends into the landscape more harmoniously than conventional homes, and offers exceptional protection against high temperatures, high winds, hailstorms, and natural disasters.
The masterplan for the site incorporates high-tech greenhouses that will produce seasonal fruits and vegetables for the locals to have access to.
These greenhouses will be positioned in the parkland that forms part of the residential offering and will be open to provide the freshest produce available. A café will provide barista made coffee and treats to delight the visitors and locals.
