Drumkerin Wins 2018 Sustainability Award for Single Houses
This Armidale property utilises Breezway Louvres with large fixed lite windows. The louvres provide plenty of adjustable airflow and can be left open during gentle rain while still maximising outdoor views.
The benefits of incorporating Breezway Louvres into the design don’t stop there. The owners are able to fully purge the house at night in summer to keep rooms cool without the need for air conditioning, and can leave them open even when not at home.
10 years ago owner/architect Mahalath Halperin said she never would have specified louvres in Armidale’s climate due to the cold winters and yet Breezway Louvres have shown to be extremely airtight, even during harsh weather.
This project was the winner of the 2018 Sustainability Awards for Single Houses (New Category).
