Melbourne-based ceramicist Ella Reweti and her partner Huw Smith (a metal fabricator) are both used to ‘making’ things in their careers, so as first-home buyers, it was only natural that their home should also be a bit of a personal project.
Since they moved into their cute Victorian cottage about two years ago, Ella and Huw have taken a hands-on approach to improving the home’s comfort and sustainability in phase one of the renovation.
We visited their Preston abode with home comfort and energy advisor Tim Forcey to see just how energy-efficient their half-renovated home is — and you might be surprised to know it already performs better than the average Melbourne home!
