Felicity Bernstein has been named sustainability judge of IDEA 2026.

Studying architecture at the infancy of Germany's Passivhaus movement, she brought this knowledge and passion to Australia, founding .archi with Marc Bernstein in 2011. The pair's own home – Hütt 01 – has an A++ rating on the LETI scale and a Passivhaus Premium certification, which the Australian Passivhaus Association calls “the epitome of sustainable construction”. Hütt 01 won the IDEA Sustainability category award in 2022 and now, Bernstein will judge this year's hopeful entries.

Find out about Bernstein's four core pillars of climate-responsible design and the kinds of projects that impress her on ADR – link in bio.
