Sustainable Design and Eco Features
🌱 carbon zero materials using metal cladding on timber framed construction
🌱 above Australian standards of insulation to avoid excessive cold and heat in the terrace
🌱 design allows cross ventilation in every room of the terrace to allow the rooms to naturally cool down in summer
Brief
Nestled tightly in a Heritage Conservation area, our Redfern project posed a few challenges. The current terrace has limited access to the rear outdoor area and the natural lighting into the existing home is limited due it neighbour’s being right on their side boundaries.
With a tight and narrow site with only the front door access, our client wanted to convert the 2-storey terrace to 3 stories and allow for more open plan living and to introduce more natural light and lower their reliance on the use of air conditioning.
Design
The proposed design introduced an internal garden, allowing an atrium space between the living room and new kitchen area. This also introduced more natural light to filter into the existing living room. The new extension was designed with sustainable practices in mind, allowing the area to be cooled only by a fan. The atrium space also allowed the existing living room and new dine in kitchen to naturally cross ventilate during the summer heat. The new extension was built with robust materials, providing maximum insulation to the house and supplying passive cooling and heating naturally, removing its reliance on air conditioning.
Client Feedback & Outcome
🌱 reduced reliance on air- conditioning to cool and heat the terrace
🌱 reduction in energy bills
