Case study: Modern Country Home

The property is in a cold area which receives snow from time to time in winter but also experiences very high summer temperatures. Being able to enjoy the country views through double height windows while keeping warm in winter and cool in summer was the biggest challenge.

The owners wanted sustainability, natural materials and easy indoor-outdoor living options. They also wanted Australian made products.

All windows and doors are triple glazed for highest energy efficiency.

The living area is flooded with light and sunshine through a double height glass wall, which includes a tilt window installed down low for ample airflow and ventilation, and to leave the views uninterrupted. Large lift-slide doors offer indoor-outdoor living to the north and west.

Upstairs dormer windows in tilt and turn are child proof but allow easy casement opening to the inside for cleaning purposes. Distant views to the southeast from the main bedroom are captured through a corner window. Also the front door with the striking door pull was custom-made by Paarhammer.
