River St Eco Residence 2017

House Notes – River St Eco Residence

Contemporary innovative designed home to optimise passive solar gain in our cool temperate zone. High internal thermal mass with heavy insulated perimeter / envelope. Flexible living spaces with the focus to extending internal living to the outside northern courtyard. Designed with future-proofing at the core of the design. Precise detailing and clever use of borrowing northern light into southern spaces.
