Turner Street House
By Western Architecture Studio
Designed as an affordable holiday home, this house in Augusta takes its aesthetic from the fibro beach shacks which are typical of the area. The design ensures that the property takes in a beautiful view of the Blackwood River.
The house features lightweight construction with structural insulated panels (SIPS) and magnesium-oxide sandwich panels to create a rigid and well insulated building. The design of the passive heating and cooling was based on data collected from the Augusta Beach House completed in 2015, with good northern sun exposure and an emphasis on cross ventilation. The home also features an external deck which is sheltered from the prevailing winds to ensure maximum comfort when in use.
