Through the innovative use of solar energy, passive design principles, advanced climate control systems, comprehensive recycling programs, sustainable building materials and environmentally sensitive landscaping, the home is committed to reducing its environmental impact,” Mellors added.
The total construction cost for Camberwell was AUD 40 million, with the overall investment, including land and other costs, amounting to approximately AUD 70 million. This ambitious project was brought to fruition through the dedication of Regis employees, consultants, contractors, including Building Engineering, HSPC Architects, Jeff Green Engineering and the unwavering support of the local community.
