simple house design architectural elements
The well considered planning and space relationships create an architectural design that can utilize reinforced slab on ground construction. Alternatively, a cost effective patented prefab footing system can be engineered. Generous 8 feet/2400mm high clear anodized end-sliding doors of the simple house design create indoor-outdoor living. These end-sliding doors separate the open plan living area from the outdoor alfresco.
The space relationships strategically locate the living space for access to the winter sun which is integral to performance as an energy efficient passive design. The southern living space connects and spills out onto the alfresco to encourage indoor-outdoor living which is embraced in our western lifestyle.
The architectural design and passive design are achieved on a small budget by incorporating a patented prefab footing system, solar hot water and wood fuel firebox for wood fuel boosting. Visitors to the passive house are greeted with a large 2400mm high double glazed timber pivot door and are only then ushered into the passive house’s open plan living areas.
The architect designed kitchen incorporates the latest porcelain panel selections with a 4 feet/1200mm wide kitchen island bench. The kitchen island benchtop maximizes interface between the kitchen hub and adjacent living area. The kitchen design features porcelain panel perimeter benchtops, color backed glass and Blum Adventos lift overhead cupboards cantilevered above the benchtop height slot window.
The architectural specification material palette includes clear anodized window frames, porcelain panel kitchen benchtops, Artedomus tiles. Specified floor finishes include hardwood internal timber flooring and Sikkens paint finish decking. The wall cladding material finishes combine horizontally formatted James Hardie Scyon Linea weatherboard and vertically grooved Scyon Axon cladding. The compressed fibre cement cladding achieves a higher BAL rating and to ensure the passive house met the tight project budget.
