House of the year

House of the Year People’s Choice Award

Aquacomb Featured in Award-Nominated Home

We’re proud to share that Aquacomb is featured in one of the finalists for the People’s Choice Award in this year’s prestigious House of the Year competition.

Built by Universal Homes, this smartly designed 70sqm apartment in Northcote integrates Aquacomb’s innovative water storage system—demonstrating how modern housing can combine style, efficiency, and sustainability, even on a compact footprint.

 

Aquacomb is a low-impact, high-performance water detention and reuse system, specifically designed for properties where space is at a premium. Its interconnected tanks are installed beneath the concrete slab, allowing full water storage functionality without using up valuable indoor or outdoor living space.

This installation means the apartment’s future owners will enjoy long-term water savings without compromising aesthetics or usability. It’s a discreet, future-ready solution that supports both stormwater management and rainwater reuse—an increasingly important feature in urban housing developments.

We’re thrilled to see innovative, sustainable solutions like Aquacomb being recognised as part of award-worthy homes.

Congratulations to Universal Homes and all the other finalists.

Don’t forget to vote in the People’s Choice Awards and support smart, sustainable housing design.
