Millhill Lane

Energy efficient home, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 80 sqm

Location : Hill site in Huntsbury


Exhausted from living in an earthquake damaged home my client found a hill site to build his small but energy efficient new home.


The foot print of 80 sqm includes two bedrooms, one bathroom and an open plan living, dining and kitchen area.

The skillion roof over the living area creates an impression of spaciousness without compromising on the atmosphere of comfort and cosiness.


Integrated into part of the north facing deck is a lower portion where seating is provided, protected by a pergola and timber screen for privacy.


Energy efficient features :


  • airtight and windtight building systems (ProClima)
  • high level of insulation (Knauf Earthwool)
  • recessed thermally broken aluminium windows, double-glazed, LowE and Argon-filled
  • LED lighting
  • Heat Recovery and Ventilation System
