Overview
Whole house refurbishment and eco upgrade.
The Brief
This project is a feature for us on many levels – it’s a full Eco refurb with a range of low energy features as well as a space planning and mid-century modern style.
Our Solution
We have taken a 1960’s corner site with side extension capability and extended it over three floors, re-planning every single space in the process.
The client wanted a flexible family home, keeping the essence of the 60’s feel, but doing away with the shoddy 60’s construction replacing it with low impact, sustainable materials.
That achieved, we set about designing a heating, water and power strategy based on wood pellet and solar technology, adding a water softener and low water use appliances and energy saving kit to give the client a future-proofed, low impact home.
Yes, it won some awards but we’re not bragging…
