HONE is a Melbourne-based residential builder specialising in architectural Passivhaus homes that combine sustainability, performance and craftsmanship.

Led by brothers Michael and Steve, HONE is a family-owned company with nearly two decades of experience in carpentry and business. We collaborate with architects and clients who share our values to deliver homes that are energy-efficient, resilient and built to last.

Our builds are guided by building science, attention to detail and a belief that the construction process should support both design vision and long-term performance.

Whether new build or deep retrofit, we apply a broad sustainability lens—including considerations for comfort, air quality, passive solar design and resource efficiency. We support every project with tailored client resources and open communication from start to finish.

At HONE, we don’t just build homes—we help shape a more sustainable built environment for people, place and planet.

As we move into an exciting future where sustainability and well-being intertwine more than ever before, the ethos of our company stands firm: to pioneer in residential construction, not just as builders of structures, but as guardians of healthy living environments. At I-Smart, our commitment goes beyond just building a home; it extends to crafting spaces that nurture and sustain, ensuring our legacy enriches the lives of generations to come.

The significance of healthy living environments cannot be overstated in today’s world. With increasing concerns over environmental degradation, indoor air quality, and the overall impact of urbanisation on well-being, the role of residential construction has evolved into a pivotal one. It is no longer sufficient to merely meet building codes; we must exceed them, setting new benchmarks for sustainable living.

Research underscores the profound impact of living environments on human health. By integrating eco-friendly materials, considering both energy use and embodied energy, optimising natural light and ventilation, and implementing cutting-edge technologies for energy efficiency, we not only reduce our ecological footprint but also enhance the quality of life for our residents.
