Welcome to another podcast episode with our guest, Ashleigh Horne, a true trailblazer in the realm of eco-conscious design. In 2018, Ashleigh's and her husband Jarrod's path led them to the innovative realm of Passive House design, where the promise of year-round indoor comfort, free from traditional heating and cooling, captivated them. This ignited a passion that drove them to create not one, but two remarkable Hempcrete, Solar Passive, off-grid houses. They currently live on a farm on the mid-North Coast of NSW, called The Simple Patch.  From the initial spark of inspiration to the final touch, Ashleigh's and Jarrod's journey has been one of hands-on commitment. Together, we'll explore the core principles that guided them: Reducing carbon footprint, leaving a lighter impact on the environment.Designing for passive thermal comfort, a haven of steady temperatures year-round.Building for resilience, crafting spaces that stand strong even in the face of fire.Nurturing indoor air quality, creating sanctuaries of well-being.And, of course, creating homes that seamlessly blend functionality and sustainability.Join us as Ashleigh shares her insights, challenges, and the joy of witnessing sustainability and design come together.
