There’s a lot in this small house! The floor area of under 135m2 allows for investment in clever joinery and high quality materials and systems. The form of the building with it’s opposing skillion roofs echoes the wings of a parrot in flight.

The house is designed for longevity and persistence, particularly in the face of a changing climate. The building has a very low summer cooling load and is well placed to cope with increasingly frequent and severe heat waves.

Employing a quality vapour management system with ventilated facades and roof, with strict detailing to openings and penetrations will ensure this building will not succumb to moisture issues that plague a high portion of residential buildings and in return will ensure a healthy home.
