Creature comforts catered for

A lot of thought went into the sustainability and function of this home and it is close to a 10-star rated eco-home. Along the front face of the home is a sunlighttrap of double glazed windows. And array of windows encourages light and heat into the home. Once there, the heat is kept in place by double insulation in the ceiling cavity. When the sun fades, and Timaru is in the midst of winter, diesel-powered underfloor heating works with radiators to keep this a t-shirt and shorts environment.
