Jodie Dang ARCHITECTS
Jodie Dang graduated from the University of New South Wales with a Bachelor of Architectural Studies and Master of Architecture before beginning her career in London in 2007, where she worked with renowned architectural studios specialising in sustainable and low-energy design principles, including Passive House methodology.
Returning to Sydney, Jodie brought with her an early understanding of high-performance residential architecture at a time when sustainable building was still emerging within the Australian market. She became one of the first architects and Passive House designers working extensively throughout Sydney’s Inner West, building a strong reputation for thoughtful, environmentally responsive homes within complex urban and heritage contexts.
Her work focuses on contemporary residential architecture that balances sustainability with timeless design, creating homes that are calm, light-filled and deeply connected to the way people live. With extensive experience in heritage conservation areas, Jodie approaches each project with sensitivity to context while introducing modern spatial planning, natural light, passive heating and cooling, and high-performance building principles.
Jodie believes that good architecture should not only look beautiful, but should also enhance wellbeing, comfort and everyday living. Her design philosophy is grounded in creating enduring homes that are environmentally responsible, energy-efficient and crafted to stand the test of time.

Passive House
Passive house is a standard for energy efficiency in a building, which reduces the building's ecological footprint. It results in ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling
Passive House has five key elements:
-
Continuous high-level insulation
-
High-performance windows
-
An airtight building envelope
-
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR)
-
Thermal bridge free design and construction
The construction cost of a passive house extension can be delivered at a cost comparable to that of a house built to the National Construction Code standards and BASIX requirements.
Over the building’s life span, the low running costs of Passive Houses make them more cost-effective than standard builds – with 90% average reduction in energy use for heating and cooling.
The ultra-low energy demands also make it more affordable to use renewable energy sources and significantly reduce CO2emissions.
Passive Houses can be built to your needs and aspirations. There is no limitation to the construction material and design of the house. Each design is catered to suit your housing needs and building budget. We are able to working with existing Heritage listed terrace houses to complete knock down new builds.
