Hillside Residence

The technology embedded in this project includes a sophisticated home automation system. The window treatments are motorised; there is underfloor heating generally; there is a sensor and automatic lighting throughout. There is also an electric privacy window in the main ensuite.

The extended cantilevered terrace and roofline reduce the heat load from windows, lessening the need for air conditioning in harsh summers. There are very few west-facing windows, which provide additional protection against the afternoon sun. Additional sustainable features include highly efficient hydronic floor heating and solar panels.
