The upper level and ground-floor extension required a complete internal renovation and for the entire exterior to be reclad too – it was sheathed in high durability products to eliminate the need for painting. We incorporated an internal air tightness membrane and a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system to ensure this passive home could effectively manage moisture and recover heat.

Significant planning and ongoing management was required to ensure the hip-style timber-framed pergola (which incorporated acrylic clearlite sheet roofing over the deck) was symmetrical, weatherproof and in alignment with the corrugated roofing.
