CLAYTON & VICTORIA MITCHELL, Statement Homes
.. kindly let their home be viewed on the recent SUPERHOME BUS TOUR 2026. It was a popular choice amongst the Bus ‘Tourists’ and a chance to hear about some innovative ideas, a snowboard collection beyond imagination and one of the most laid back family dogs on a Tour to date.

Two key innovations make this home exceptional. An indoor north facing tilt-slab panel incorporates embedded hydronic heating pipes, adding thermal mass and demonstrating how structural elements can contribute to a home’s thermal performance. The home also incorporates an experimental underground air intake system for passive summer cooling.
