This is the CH2 Building the in Melbourne's CBD. I have put this images on the Blog because it has a variety of sustainable aspects which could be helpful for Domus. The Council House Two was design by Mick Pearce, uses only 15% of a regulars Buildings Energy and 30% of a regulars buildings water. It's quite interesting how Mick Pearce went about design the different aspects, for example, the cooling system uses two different ways, the curve concrete roof as seen in the photo above gives a maximum surface area which take longer to heat up, then at night they allow 4 hours where the windows are opened to cool them for the next day. The other aspect of their cooling system is called evaporative cooling, which uses recycled sewage and drops it from the 4th floor, this chills the water and that water is then pumped into the copper piping over the curved concrete roof. For more info on this you can go to
