Summary: A 1905 Beach home was reinvented as a light-filled, energy efficient, healthy home.
Although strictly modern, the new design respectfully explores building structures and materials found in the area to complement the neighbourhood while creating a modern original with unique sculptural aesthetics.
Emphasis was also put on creating a home with technical configurations to support the well-being, as well as economical outcome, for maintaining and operating the building -- to name a few: lots of natural light and cross ventilation; walls and roof with long-lasting cool, white metal panelling; breathable wall membranes; continuous insulation; HRV with air filtration; smart technologies to control lighting, heating and cooling and to monitor energy consumption.
