In this episode of the Passive House Podcast, co-host Matthew Cutler-Welsh talks with Ben Sinclair of Gold Coast, Australia based CORNERBLOCK. Ben shares his unique journey from managing a family business to pioneering the sustainable Cornerblock project on the Gold Coast. Ben's approach, informed by his diverse background and keen observation of conventional building inefficiencies, led to embracing Passive House principles for commercial property development. Cornerblock stands as a testament to innovative, sustainable design in a challenging subtropical climate, redefining commercial building standards and tenant comfort.
