Greytown New Home

Seeking a home that would perform as beautifully as it looked, architect, Architecture Robinson Crimp was engaged for his expertise in passive design. In Greytown’s extreme climate, the owners’ goal was to create a home with a consistent, comfortable year-round temperature that they could control, rather than adapting to seasonal extremes.

High levels of insulation, thermally efficient joinery, triple glazing, and a heat exchange system underpin the home’s performance. Independent passive modelling led to minor refinements to the design, including slightly smaller windows and external Roma blinds to manage summer heat gain.

The result – a refined, high performing home delivering exceptional comfort in every season
