Being
the Owner/ Builder I tried to modulate the design to make
it easier to construct and have less waste.
In total there was 8m3 of waste removed from the
site which saved time and money.
The uses of rendered Hebel panels on the external walls and
Hebel power floor were used,
along with spray foam polyurethane insulation in the walls
and ceilings to make the home thermally efficient.
This along with hydronic floor heating makes the home extremely
comfortable and energy efficient.
Core filled block work on the internal walls of the middle
level were used to give thermal mass to the inside walls.
An internal courtyard was also incorporated to give light
and also aid in the cross flow ventilation
of the middle of the house.
Matrix panels were used on the façade to give a contemporary
modern look. My wife
has an uncanny way of sourcing quality fixtures and products
well below retail price,
this along with her excellent styling and interior designing
skill have produced a magnificently
well-presented home, and no attention to detail has been
spared.
Huge commercial double glazed tinted windows were used to
capture the awesome views, a surface polish
of the concrete was the finish applied on the floor, and
the ceiling of the alfresco was timber lined.
Quality porcelain tiles were used throughout.
The kitchen is finished in custom Ceasarstone and thermo
laminate board along with feature joinery items.
The single steel stringer stairs in the stair wells form
a feature with the glass balustrading.
