Attention to Detail: Crafting Sustainable, Smart, and Inclusive Communities

At Sekisui House Australia, our approach to home design goes beyond the individual residence; we thoughtfully craft environments that evolve with people through every life stage. By designing vibrant, inclusive communities that support connection, wellbeing, and a true sense of belonging, we ensure residents enjoy not only a high-quality home but also a fulfilling lifestyle in a place they’re proud to call home.

From masterplanned neighbourhoods with walkable streets and green spaces to incorporating smart technology that enhances efficiency and connectivity, every detail is considered.

Designing for Sustainable Living

Sustainability is at the core of every Sekisui House community. From preserving natural ecosystems to integrating energy-efficient technologies, each project is a careful balance between delivering elegant design and championing environmental responsibility.

“We approach every project with the belief that a home is part of a much larger story,” says George Gesouras, Project Director at Sekisui House Australia. “Our developments are about supporting people's lives holistically—through thoughtful design, environmental consciousness, and a strong sense of belonging.”

Masterplanned communities like The Orchards in Norwest embody this commitment. With its abundant green spaces, regenerated areas, and energy-saving innovations, The Orchards is designed to create a sustainable legacy for generations to come.

“At The Orchards, we’ve prioritised sustainability in every aspect—from a regeneration strategy that encourages biodiversity and the preservation of fauna to installing solar panels spanning 6,000sqm, providing 1 GWh of free solar power every year for use in common areas. At The Orchards, the natural environment, and our innovative design and sustainability principles come together to create something truly special,” says Mr. Gesouras. “Our vision is to create a thriving, green community that feels connected to nature yet functions effortlessly for modern living, delivering an experience that sustains the community for generations.”

Smart, Connected, and Future-Ready

Sekisui House integrates smart technology into its developments to enhance daily life by improving energy efficiency, connectivity, and convenience. In mixed-use precincts like West Village in West End, Brisbane, technology underpins the living experience without overwhelming it.

ALTURA in West Village incorporates neuro-architecture features to optimise health and wellbeing, given the direct link between the built environment and neurological impacts. Features range from zoned temperature control via smart app as sudden temperature changes impede cognitive performance to extensive sound proofing to minimise any traffic noise and create a tranquil escape.

“West Village has been designed as an urban ecosystem,” says Taku Hashimoto, Project Director at Sekisui House Australia. “There has been a considered and integrated approach to smart design, infrastructure, community connection, and sustainability. In fact, West Village has twice earned the 'world leadership' status with the achievement of a 6-star Green Star - Communities rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.”

Creating Inclusive Communities for Every Generation

True community thrives when it is accessible to everyone. Sekisui House champions inclusive design, offering a mix of housing options to meet diverse needs—from first-home buyers and growing families to downsizers and retirees.

Our developments exemplify this commitment to inclusivity, seamlessly blending the local charm with modern living, offering living options to suit various stages of life.

At our West Village precinct in QLD, we’ve embraced a holistic design approach that seamlessly integrates public spaces, retail, dining, and cultural experiences. Our diverse range of home offerings, including one, two, and three-bedroom apartments as well as townhouses caters to individuals and families at all life stages, delivering vibrant, connected living right at their doorstep.

Dayna Zernike a resident at West Village says “Our unit in West Village reflects how well Sekisui House has brought home and community together. Every detail feels thoughtfully considered, private when we need it, connected when we want it. With onsite amenities like the pool, BBQ area and dog park plus specialty stores, and a vibrant restaurant precinct just a short walk away, daily life is incredibly convenient. It’s a lifestyle that supports well-being and lets us spend more time on the things that matter.”

"Inclusivity is about designing with empathy," says Mr Hashimoto, Project Director of West Village. "We want to create neighbourhoods where people from different generations and lifestyles can live side-by-side —where a young couple, a family, and a retiree can all feel equally at home."

Our developments, aren’t just a place to live they are a place to thrive, connect and experience community at its best.

Communities Built to Last

At Sekisui House Australia, no detail is too small when it comes to creating places where people genuinely want to live, connect, and grow. Whether it’s through lush green corridors, vibrant community spaces, future-proof infrastructure, or beautifully designed homes, every community is crafted with longevity, sustainability, and human wellbeing at its heart.

As the world continues to evolve, Sekisui House remains committed to building communities that not only meet today’s needs but anticipate tomorrow’s opportunities, ensuring they remain places of pride and belonging for generations to come.
