10 Star 2 Storey Townhouse 2015

10 Star 2 Storey Townhouse

This family home is 10 star energy rated and its performance has been confirmed with internal temperatures, over the last few years, maintained between 18 and 28 year round. The home is constructed in reverse brick veneer which keeps the insulating layer on the outside and thermal mass on the inside. Recycled granite and marble floor tiles create additional thermal mass as well as a stunning finish.

Recycled materials have also been used in the gorgeous jarrah finishes, as well as second-hand light fittings and window treatments. The house has a solar system, rainwater reuse into bathroom and toilet, and a greywater dispersal system into the gardens. Double glazed windows contribute significantly to thermal performance and noise reduction. The promixity to the train and to a major cycling route, as well as shops, restaurants, schools and community facilities encourage healthy transport options.

On sustainable  house day, our 11 year old son will be raising awareness of the no 1 killer of sea turtles in WA – plastic bags floating in our waters. He has designed a graphic of a sea turtle pursuing a plastic bag that looks like a jellyfish and has hand-stensilled the image onto 100% cotton calico shopping bags. Get yours from his stall at our home at 96 Rutland Ave Lathlain on the day. More information is here.
