Winchester Efficient Home

Designed by Fiona Macpherson Architecture, this energy-efficient home seamlessly nestles into a small space within Lyttleton's historic village. Its layout cleverly maximizes the limited area, while paying homage to Lyttleton's past with a classic weatherboard exterior. The house employs advanced materials and systems that are now standard in our builds. Beneath the surface, a fully insulated foundation is accompanied by a hydronic underfloor heating system featuring a buffer tank. The 140 Series Ecopanel Wall System takes centre stage, providing excellent insulation and boasting airtight layers, as evidenced by an impressive airtightness test result of 0.48 air changes per hour. The exterior aesthetic is defined by UPVC double glazed windows, skylights, and the sleek lines of the hidden fixed standing seam wall and roof cladding. On the inside, a balanced ventilation system with heat recovery ensures a steady flow of fresh air into two bedrooms, a multi function room, and a study nook, while effectively expelling moisture-laden air from wet areas. These sophisticated features align seamlessly with the original vision of our valued client… scroll down to read more about this beautiful project.
