A two-storey, three-bedroom residence designed for a young family, featuring passive solar design, efficient low-tech solutions, and a strategic hillside location for privacy and views.
A simple box for a young couple and their toddler. This two-storey, three-bedroom house exemplifies passive solar design.
Low-tech solutions to efficiency such as deep eaves, northern orientation, and thermal mass, are coupled with a high level of insulation. Slender structural members create a regular rhythm and provide a framework for deciduous vines.
A tricky site with limited access, the rectangular plan wedges into the hillside offering shelter from the prevailing winds, privacy and a view across the valley.
Status: Complete, 2018.
