298: The Potential for Passive House at Scale in Australia with Sven Maxa

In this episode of the Passive House Podcast, we speak with Sven Maxa, founder and co-director of Melbourne-based Maxa Design, an award-winning practice specialising in high-performance, sustainable homes and Passive House design. A Certified Passive House Designer, Sven has been at the forefront of energy-efficient residential design in Australia for more than two decades, helping demonstrate that healthy, comfortable, low-energy homes can also be beautiful and practical.

Sven shares his key takeaways from the THRIVE Passive House Conference in Melbourne, reflecting on the growing momentum behind high-performance building across Australia. We discuss the significance of major volume builder Metricon’s presence at the event and what it could signal for the mainstream adoption of Passive House principles in the Australian residential sector.
