House Notes – Tingaringy
Tingaringy is built in the Tilba Conservation Area on the outskirts of the heritage-listed village of Central Tilba. To meet the requirements of the planning controls, it is a modern take on a typical farmhouse. Its design is based on passive solar principles, with the aim of taking full advantage of all the 1000m2 block.
In addition to passive solar design, the house features a 60m2 conservatory with a polycarbonate roof. The bedrooms and living area are accessed through the conservatory and the main entrance is through this area. The conservatory aids thermal operation – which works well particularly in autumn and spring. Special attention has been paid to ventilation of this area and the central area is being used as an indoor garden – bananas and ginger grow very well.
