Description
Large home in an inner city suburb with a good northerly aspect. Extensive glass to the north and south meant triple glazed windows and doors. Great home for entertaining with large operable expanses of glass onto a northern courtyard. Achieving the PH requirements were made more challenging by the decision to pursue certification after the planning was completed and 80% documented.
