A modern“pod style” master retreat with a focus on passive climate management as a delightful private retreat for the owners, separate from the main dwelling but with a capacity for private entertaining.
EerwahVale Retreat is Solar PV connected and is 7-star NatHERS rated with passive thermal management incorporating ventricular passageways and glazing elements that move cooling airflows throughout and allow the home to ‘breath’. In addition, minimising air leakage via well-sealed envelope, large eaves and coupled with correct insulation, improves thermal comfort in winter and high summer when artificial climate management is needed via airconditioning, with doors and windows closed.
An internal“verandah” can be fully opened up or closed down with full weather sealing for greater amenity provided by this additional living space

Principal Designer, Anthony Wynne-Hoelscher believes in house design that is sustainable, whilst modern and minimalist with a focus on passive climate management for comfort, cost savings and happy, healthy living.
“More people are recognising that climate change will impact our children and grandchildren if we don’t reduce our greenhouse emissions,” says Anthony. “So, my underlying passion is not only designing beautiful homes that ‘breath’ and have passive climate management builtin, I also look to minimise the embodied energy that goes into the construction from the beginning of the design stage.”
