← About Us

ARCHANAUT's purpose is to move the needle on Australia's net-zero targets, today.

We're on a mission to make sustainability accessible with innovative, zero-cost solutions.

At Archanaut, we understand that a home is more than just a place to live; it’s where cherished memories are made and values are lived out. This belief is deeply rooted in the personal journey of our founder, David.

David's journey towards sustainable living began with the birth of his first child. Joining a local parents' group, David and his wife met several architects who sparked their interest in sustainable architecture and eco-friendly homes. This experience ignited a passion for creating a healthy and environmentally conscious living space. Driven by their values, they embarked on a journey to design and build their dream home, incorporating sustainable practices and materials.

In 2019, David and his family made history by building New South Wales' first Cross Laminated Timber Passive House. This house was not just a home but a testament to their commitment to reduce energy consumption and live sustainably. The Passive House standard, which reduces energy consumption by up to 90% for heating and cooling, became a beacon of what’s possible when one aligns home construction with ecological principles.

However, as David delved deeper into the world of sustainable architecture, he faced a stark reality. He realized that only 3% of the population could afford the luxury of hiring an architect, and within this small group, only a select few opted for the rigorous Passive House standard. This was a privilege that most people couldn't access.

Determined to make a difference, David took the next step in his journey by completing the Passive House Designer course. There, he learned a startling fact: by 2050, approximately half of the homes in Australia will be the ones that exist today. Many of these homes are energy inefficient and will be left behind unless significant changes are made.

David’s vision for Archanaut was born from this realization. He saw the need for a transformative approach that would make sustainable living accessible to everyone, not just the fortunate few. Archanaut’s unique partnership with a fintech company allows us to provide no-cost investment returns, removing the financial barriers that often prevent homeowners from adopting sustainable practices.

We believe that everyone deserves to live in a home that is not only comfortable and affordable but also sustainable. By making technologies like home batteries and solar panels accessible without any upfront costs, we empower homeowners to take control of their energy and create greener, more efficient living spaces.

At Archanaut, we are dedicated to creating a world where every home can be a beacon of sustainability. We’re on a mission to make sustainable living a reality for all, ensuring that generations can enjoy years of small firsts, big moments, laughter, and love under their roofs. For a future that’s brighter, today.
