The client wanted a double storey townhouse on the marina. A challenge was to create a passive solar design on this narrow site while still optimising the view over the bay to the south west. The design achieves this by incorporating a double volume in the centre of house allowing the north light to penetrate through high light windows into this central space. Eaves overhangs control the ingress of the summer sun while allowing winter warmth in. The south west facing elevation is elegant and addresses the street frontage while still providing adequate overhangs to prevent summer sun ingress.
