The concept behind the 2 storey house plans and mezzanine home emphasize the importance on energy-efficiency and sustainable design principles to achieve economic living. Correctly and contextually sited, the mezzanine home results in passive solar design principles and juxtaposed living spaces that capture winter heat gain in the structure’s thermal mass, when the sun is at lower azimuth, and eliminates the worst of the summer heat gain. The 2 storey house plans also incorporate hallway highlight windows to maximize natural light through the daylight hours and vent stale hot air along the rammed limestone spine through ‘stack effect’ ventilation.

The 2 storey house designs interior design palette includes clear anodised window frames, porcelain panel kitchen benchtops, Artedomus tiles, internal timber flooring. Wall cladding material finishes for these combine either horizontally formatted James Hardie Scyon Linea weatherboard or vertically grooved Scyon Axon cladding for the higher BAL rating on this mezzanine home – particularly suitable for regional or country locations.
