Winning the award for the greenest design at the Helderfontein Home Show 2024, this residence is entirely sustainable and ideal for anyone looking for a cosy lifestyle in a contemporary setting within the Helderfontein Estate. Created in a passive climatic design, many features come together to ensure this home is perfect for today’s lifestyle where being conscious of the environment is always trendy.
The passive design approach ensures less energy is required to run the home with less electricity needed for heating in winter and cooling in summer. To allow for this, several principles were implemented, such as orientation, insulation, window glazing, the pitched roof and concrete slabs that were insulated to protect against heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, as well the use of natural resources.
