Superpod – Good Design Award 2015

The Superpod has been recognised with a coveted Good Design Award® – Australia’s oldest and most prestigious award for excellence in design and innovation.

The Superpod® is an inventive, thermally efficient, building design calculated using a building physics program in International Passive House Standard. The Superpod utilises a new supply chain and methodology for achieving that Standard in a very fast build, using prefab and long life components, without use of plaster, with low building waste and very low energy use during occupation.

PHS is the best energy standard to combat climate change with optimum indoor comfort. It can be challenging. Superpod brings to PHS a new look and building concept, which is architecturally innovative, beautiful, easy to build, live with and understand.

The Judges commented: “This is an innovation from the ground up that meets and exceeds all the criteria for design excellence. Operating in a very competitive marketplace, this project has the potential to transform the building industry and pave the way forward for thermally efficient, low maintenance building design and construction”.

The Good Design Award® is regarded as one of the most coveted awards for design and innovation in the world. Entries must represent excellence in design at every level where judges carefully consider various factors including innovation, quality, functionality, sustainability and above all, world-class design.
