Pavilion Off-Grid Homes

THE BUSINESS PARTNERS HEADING UP Pavilion Off-Grid Homes are licenced master-builder Matt Wheal and licenced building designer Anthony Wynne-Hoelscher.  Pavilion Off-Grid Homes offer affordable, precision built and quality focussed designer homes, with energy-efficient flexible living spaces. There is a huge demand now for Australian families, individuals and friends looking for an alternative to the “cookie-cutter” and energy-gobbling project homes currently available.

Not only do we design homes that can provide free power for life - but scalable living spaces that are also a fantastic solution for those looking for high-quality and refined extended family dwellings - be it Baby Boomers wanting to downsize as an alternate to a retirement village, young couples wanting an affordable option for getting their very own home - or even a group of friends who want to build a co-op living space.

Principal Designer Anthony Wynne-Hoelscher DipBldgDes has designed many custom homes that reflect the Pavilion Off-Grid Homes ethos of “lightly touching the Earth”. He inputs the tried and tested passive climate management design methodologies of old into an elegant modern style envelope that also enhances the environmental impacts of these buildings. This is achieved through efficiencies in design, circulation and spatial usage, with design principles that moderate the use of materials, carbon emissions and embodied energy (the sum of all the energy inputs required to produce the house) - delivering a happy and healthy home that leaves a light footprint.

“The external form of Pavilion Off Grid Homes suggests a clever rationalisation of the spaces within. When confronted with difficult design challenges Anthony Wynne-Hoelscher’s careful consideration of the issues and attention to detail inevitably produce the right response without sacrificing the essence of the building. Anthony’s skills as both a project manager and designer and his collaborative approach have produced exceptional outcomes on many projects. Gerard Canavan, Landscape Architect”

Each Pavilion Off-Grid Home is the antithesis of the “McMansion” - instead, a 21st Century expression of a new approach to house building and design that saves time in construction creates input costs efficiencies and brings to market elegant, modern, bespoke designs that compete price-wise with project home options currently available.

Our idea of sustainability is to ensure that the use of presently available resources does not have a negative impact on our collective well-being and the precious environment we all rely upon. Moreover, Pavilion Off-Grid Homes aim to ensure that the vast bulk of materials employed in the construction of our homes can be completely reusable and/or recyclable at the end of the building’s life.
