In a celebration of sustainable living, a recent slab party for the new 10 NatHERS Star display home at Catalina Green Estate in Clarkson marked a significant milestone for our community. This event was not just about laying the foundation for a new home, but also about laying the groundwork for a greener, more sustainable future.
A Collaborative Effort
The project is a collaboration between some of the most respected names in sustainable architecture and construction. Solargain, experts in renewable energy solutions have partnered with Solar Dwellings, who won a tender to design the home and are renowned for their innovative and eco-friendly designs and Nulook Homes, sustainable new home builders. Together, we are creating a home that is not only beautiful and functional but also environmentally and socially responsible.
Leading the Way in Sustainable Design
Griff Morris of Solar Dwellings, a well-known figure in the Perth sustainable home-building community, is leading the project. His passion for sustainable home design is evident in every aspect of the build. The home, designed with both homeowners and our environment in mind, achieves a top-level 10 NatHERS Star rating. Solar Dwellings didn't stop there, it went the extra steps to incorporate Gold Level Livable Housing Australia design guidelines. Selected as the winning design by Catalina Regional Council, the rating is a testament to the home’s energy efficiency and sustainability.

Renewable Energy Solutions
Solargain will supply and install a complete home energy solution, including solar power, hot water and an EV charger. The renewable energy solution selected is from iStore, Australia’s leading home electrification company. iStore started out with award-winning heat pump technology and have expanded into solar energy including hybrid inverters and batteries to power electrification of the whole home. The integration of a renewable energy solution ensures that the home not only meets but exceeds sustainability standards, providing a model for future developments.

Strategic Location and Community Impact
The Catalina Green Sustainability Demonstration Home is strategically located at Lot 3022 Karijini Loop, Clarkson, with easy access and exposure to Connolly Drive. The prime location ensures high visibility and accessibility, making it an ideal spot within the Builders’ Display Village, scheduled to open in 2025 and operate for a minimum of two years. This display home will serve as a beacon of sustainable living, inspiring new homeowners and the broader community.
Community and Industry Support
The slab party brought together key stakeholders and supporters of the project. Leading Energy ESD who ensure the project meets the 10 Star rating were present alongside representatives from Lysaught, Colorbond, Bunnings and Satterley, the land developers. Their involvement underscores the importance of industry collaboration in achieving sustainability goals. Members of the Catalina Regional Council attended the event highlighting the community’s commitment to sustainable development and the shared goal of reducing our carbon footprint.
A Vision for the Future
This display home will double as a sales office for the development, serving as an inspiration for new homeowners on their journey to sustainability. The project is a shining example of what can be achieved when we come together with a common purpose. It marks an exciting step forward as we work together towards our Net Zero goals, demonstrating that sustainable living is not just a dream, but a reality to which we can all aspire.

The Pressure Vessel Series is a collection of vessels designed to contain fluids or gases at high pressure. These vessels are used in a variety of industries, including chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation. The vessels are typically made of steel or other high-strength materials, and are designed to withstand the extreme pressures and temperatures that they are exposed to.
One of the key features of the Pressure Vessel Series is their ability to safely contain high-pressure fluids and gases. This is achieved through a combination of design features, such as thick-walled construction, reinforced seams, and pressure relief valves. These features help to ensure that the vessel can withstand the high pressures and temperatures that are present inside, while also providing a safety mechanism in case of a failure.
Another important aspect of the Pressure Vessel Series is their versatility. These vessels can be used for a wide range of applications, including storing and transporting gases and liquids, as well as processing raw materials into finished products. They can also be customized to meet specific industry needs, with options for different sizes, shapes, and materials.
In addition to their functional benefits, the Pressure Vessel Series also offers economic advantages. By allowing for the safe and efficient storage and transport of high-pressure fluids and gases, these vessels help to reduce waste and increase productivity. They also provide a cost-effective solution for industries that require high-pressure containment, as they are often less expensive than alternative solutions.
Overall, the Pressure Vessel Series is an essential component of many industrial processes. From chemical processing to power generation, these vessels provide a safe, reliable, and cost-effective solution for high-pressure containment. With their versatility and durability, they are sure to remain an important part of industrial operations for years to come.
