Sustainable Design is design that makes sense for your lifestyle and for the environment. Studio Mango is committed
to using sustainable design principles in all our projects.

Sustainable Houses in Cairns are:

• cooler to live in
• cheaper to run
• conducive to outdoor living.

Studio Mango designed the ’sunbird’, a demonstration sustainable house at 17 Junction Street Edge Hill.

The ‘sunbird’ features:

• Climatically appropriate passive design
• Extensive use of sustainably harvested timbers from the Atherton Tablelands
• Selection of other materials on the basis of low embodied energy
• Solar energy installation generating approximately 100% of power needs
• Solar hot water unit
• On-site collection and storage of 70% of domestic water needs
• Appliances and technologies to reduce water and power use
• A composting toilet to reduce wastewater and nutrient outputs.
