Unique townhouses in Port Douglas designed for tropical climates, featuring cross ventilation, extensive shading, and innovative environmental controls to enhance comfort and sustainability.
A set of unique townhouses located in the central heart of Port Douglas surrounded by tropical natural landscape.
Based in traditional principles of design for tropical climates the layout is designed to maximise cross ventilation. All spaces are open to the outside and include large eaves that overhang to form rain shields to all habitable areas.
Ventilation and perforated sunscreens are major elements in the building facades. The East, West and Northern facades are extensively shaded. Each townhouse includes a ventilation shaft which connects through to a wind driven ventilator in the peak of the roof. The shaft is designed to continuously draw air through the dwelling.
The architecture articulates these environmental controls in the elevation and built form that responds to the tropical climate of Port Douglas.
