After the driest start to the year in decades, we’re seeing just how fragile our water supply can be. Melbourne’s storages have dropped below 80%, regional towns are facing Stage 2 restrictions, and the Wonthaggi desalination plant has been switched back on to support demand. With hotter, drier conditions becoming more frequent, building water resilience into our homes is no longer optional—it’s essential.
We believe homes should be part of the solution. That’s why our EcoGeneration range goes beyond conventional water-saving features. From WELS-rated tapware and appliances to rainwater harvesting systems and premium upgrades like the Phoenix Enviro316 range, we design our homes to reduce reliance on mains water—without compromising comfort or performance.
Our approach is simple: build for regeneration. That means significantly cutting fresh water use, lowering utility costs, and helping Australian households live more sustainably, now and into the future.
Smarter Fixtures, Greater Savings
Every EcoGeneration home comes equipped with WELS-rated taps, showers, toilets, and appliances, ensuring consistent, measurable savings across everyday use
Annual Savings: Aligned in Purpose, Designed for Impact
Every drop counts—and through our long-standing partnership with Phoenix Tapware, we’ve selected fixtures that align with our commitment to environmental responsibility. By combining their high-performance, WELS-rated tapware with our regenerative design approach, we’re able to deliver homes that save over 205,000 litres of water each year—the equivalent of 1,025 full bathtubs or nearly 14 backyard pools. It adds up to an 18% reduction in household water use compared to the Australian average.
By combining WELS-rated Phoenix tapware with Fisher & Paykel's efficient appliances and our water-smart design philosophy, we deliver homes that don’t just meet expectations—they consistently outperform them.
Phoenix Enviro316 Tapware Range
For those who value exceptional detail and long-term performance, the Phoenix Enviro316 tapware upgrade brings together sustainability and timeless design. Crafted from marine-grade stainless steel, this lead-free range is built to last—perfect for coastal conditions and high-humidity zones.
Key benefits include:
- 6-Star WELS Rating – Outstanding efficiency
- 316 Stainless Steel – Corrosion-resistant, 100% lead-free
- Sleek Brushed Finish – Minimalist, modern and durable
- Shared Values – A partnership built on environmental integrity
Rainwater Harvesting as Standard
We include a 10,000-litre rainwater tank as standard across all our ranges (excluding the EcoHut and designs under 60 m²) because we believe water-smart design should never be an add-on. Plumbed to both toilets and washing machines, this system increases our total water savings to around 54,000 litres per year, delivering a 22% reduction in household water use when combined with our WELS-rated fixtures.
Verified Performance: 66% Less Fresh Water Use
The numbers speak for themselves. According to an independent Life Cycle Assessment by Cerclos, our EcoGeneration 2A display home uses 66% less fresh water than a typical conventional build.
That translates into real-world benefits:
🌿 Lower water bills
🌿 Reduced pressure on public infrastructure
🌿 Greater drought resilience
🌿 Long-term environmental protection

The Ecoliv Difference: Regenerative by Design
Water efficiency is just one part of our bigger picture. Every EcoGeneration home is built with:
- All-electric living powered by solar
- Recycled and renewable materials throughout
- Modular prefab construction that reduces site impact and construction waste
Whether you’re downsizing or creating your forever home, our approach offers a more considered, sustainable way to live.
Designing Today for a Better Tomorrow
We believe the homes we build today should actively contribute to a better tomorrow. That’s why every EcoGeneration home is designed to go beyond sustainability—integrating smart systems, efficient water use, and regenerative design that supports both people and planet well into the future. When you build with us, you’re not just creating a home—you’re choosing to live in a way that leaves a lighter footprint and a lasting legacy.
