BLAIRGOWRIE
COMPLETE
Designer: Loreco
Project value: $500,000+
Perched high on a hill was an old disused tennis court that we purchased to build a highly efficient and sustainable home on. The land was only small and the access to the top was very steep and difficult. We designed a modern home that sat on top of a basement garage built into the steep hill. Sustainably sourced timber and weathertex cladding were used in combination. Due to the access we craned in a precast concrete pool to limit the impact to the site. The building envelope was tightly sealed and a high level of insulation was used to reduce the need for heating, and no artificial cooling was used. We regularly catch up with the current owners who still live comfortably without any cooling and love the comfortable environment that the home provides.
