🌿 New at Alpine PassivHaus – Engineered Timber Framed Sheds 🌿

We are excited to announce that Alpine PassivHaus is now offering engineered timber (LVL) framed sheds.

Perfect for:

🏡 Shed homes
🚜 Farm sheds and machinery sheds
🔨 Workshops and garages
🌿 Sustainable building projects

Compared with conventional steel sheds, engineered timber frames offer several advantages:

✅ Ideal for future conversion into comfortable, energy-efficient living spaces
✅ Large spans and flexible layouts
✅ Warm, natural appearance
✅ Precision-engineered components for quick and accurate assembly
✅ Lower embodied carbon and a reduced environmental footprint

Whether you're planning a rural shed, workshop or your dream shed home, a timber frame provides a strong, durable and environmentally responsible alternative.

Our sheds can also be supplied with wall and roof insulation, external cladding and internal linings, allowing you to create anything from a simple farm shed to a comfortable, high-performance home.

Interested in a shed home or timber-framed shed? Get in touch — we'd be happy to discuss your project.

Special thanks to Stratco Pambula and Meyer Timber for their support and collaboration.

Great day at Future Build Sydney!

It was fantastic catching up with Jamie Durie and connecting with so many people who are passionate about the future of sustainable construction and off-site manufacturing.

Many thanks to PrefabAUS for having us as their guests at their Stand. We really appreciate the opportunity and enjoyed the many great conversations throughout the day.

We'll be back at the show on Saturday morning, so come and see us at Stand 548. We'd love to chat about healthy, sustainable, high-performance homes and the future of prefabricated construction in Australia.

Alpine PassivHaus – Healthy and Sustainable Homes.

30/05/2026

🎙️ Last Friday I had the pleasure of joining Eddie Williams on ABC South East NSW to discuss the opportunities and challenges of prefabricated housing in Australia.

At Alpine PassivHaus, we manufacture prefabricated wall, roof, and floor panels right here in the Snowy Mountains, creating healthy, sustainable, high-performance homes.

We discussed how prefabrication can deliver:
✅ Higher quality through factory-controlled manufacturing
✅ Faster construction by producing panels while site works are underway
✅ Greater reliability with fewer weather delays
✅ Reduced waste and more efficient use of skilled trades
✅ Long-term cost savings through standardised, pre-engineered designs

We also discussed some of the challenges facing the industry, including outdated inspection processes, access to finance, and the difficulties smaller manufacturers face in accessing larger government housing projects.

A positive development is the introduction of dedicated prefab home loans, such as the Commonwealth Bank's prefab finance offering, which better reflects how off-site construction works and helps support industry growth.

Thank you to Eddie Williams and ABC South East NSW for the opportunity to talk about the future of prefabrication, sustainable housing, and Australian manufacturing.

A big thank you to the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development for the opportunity to participate in the Regional Business Improvement Program (RBIP).

Over the past days, our team at Alpine PassivHaus has been involved in Lean training, workshops, and an operational audit process designed to help regional businesses strengthen capability, improve systems, and build long-term resilience.

For us, the most valuable part of this program is not the tools or processes — it’s the opportunity to continue building a strong culture of continuous improvement and team ownership.

At Alpine PassivHaus, we believe that great buildings start with great people. Creating healthy, sustainable, high-performance homes requires more than good design and materials — it requires a team that is engaged, empowered, and constantly learning.

The workshops encouraged open discussions across the team, challenged us to look at our processes differently, and gave everyone an opportunity to contribute ideas for improvement. Building these capabilities within the team will help us create better systems, improve communication, reduce waste, and strengthen our ability to scale.

A special thank you to Ivan from Orbis for facilitating the sessions and creating an environment where ideas, collaboration, and continuous improvement could thrive.

We’re excited to continue this journey together and to keep building not just better homes — but a stronger team and culture behind them.

Sneak peek inside Alpine PassivHaus…

What happens when a German PassivHaus builder marries an artist with absolutely no ability to “just keep it neutral”?

This. 🤣

A house full of:
✨ wildly fabulous wallpapers
✨ questionable levels of joinery
✨ tiles chosen with intense emotional commitment
✨ cosy mountain vibes
✨ and enough pattern mixing to make a minimalist nervous

Somehow it all works together in one big warm high-performance PassivHaus wrapped around the Snowy Mountains.

Safe to say… Anwen definitely did not choose the beige life.

Featuring beautiful pieces from:
Bloom Painting & Decorating









More interior chaos coming soon 🤍

Meet Jesse Welmore 👋

Today we’d like to introduce Jesse, who joined Alpine PassivHaus last year as a fourth-year apprentice.

Since joining the team, Jesse has quickly embraced our values around sustainable construction and high-performance building and has shown great enthusiasm for learning modern construction methods and quality craftsmanship. He is developing strongly and is well on track to becoming an excellent carpenter, helping deliver healthy and sustainable homes for the future.

We’re excited to have Jesse as part of the Alpine PassivHaus team and look forward to supporting his continued growth.

At Alpine PassivHaus, we believe in training, mentoring, and creating opportunities for the next generation of tradespeople.

There will be more opportunities to learn about Passive House principles, modern methods of construction (MMC/prefabrication), and to visit our Alpine PassivHaus project during the ski season through our PassivHaus 101 sessions — with new dates to be announced soon.
