Gillies Hall, Monash University Peninsula Campus

摘要

My visit to Gillies Hall occurred on one of Melbourne's steamy summer weekdays, the type that makes many of us dream of packing up for the day and heading to the beach. But the sky was too smoky for that, a result of the devastating bushfires that were burning in Victoria at the time. Australia's horrific 2019-2020 bushfire season sparked a worldwide furore over climate change responses, so it turned out to be a timely opportunity to visit a project that is currently Australia's largest example of Passive House-certified design.
