Architectural Significance:
This home has been designed by Troppo Architects in Darwin. Troppo are renowned for their architectural contribution to the built environment of the NT. Their homes seamlessly blend innovative, climate-responsive design with sustainability and a deep connection to the natural environment. This house displays:
- Passive Thermal Design: Utilization of building orientation, thermal mass, and natural ventilation to optimize thermal comfort and reduce reliance on mechanical heating and cooling systems
- Sustainable Material Use and Renewable Energy Integration: Implementation of sustainably sourced, low-embodied energy materials and integration of renewable energy technologies, such as photovoltaic solar panels, to minimize the ecological footprint and promote energy independence.
- Low thermal mass: Incorporate materials with low thermal mass, such as corrugated iron, cement sheets, timber, to minimize any heat absorption.
- Solar PV system
- Roof Design: Utilize light-colored roofing materials to reflect heat. Design roofs with high pitches to allow hot air to rise and escape, aiding in natural cooling.
- Local and Durable Materials: Use materials that are resilient to the tropical climate, such as termite-resistant timbers, weather-resistant paints, and corrosion-resistant metals.
- Cyclone-Resistant Construction
- Insulation and Ventilation: Incorporate insulation in walls and roofs to reduce heat gain.
