Designed by award winning architect Hugh Gordon the passive design takes maximum advantage of the natural climate to maintain thermal comfort and requires minimal mechanical heating or cooling throughout the year. The strawbale construction provides excellent sound and thermal insulation as well as a material which has been moulded into a stunning design.
Gorgeous earthy colours, soaring ceilings and amazing space provide a living environment which is comfortable, relaxing and unique.
There are 5 spacious bedrooms, a segregated master with ensuite and walk though robe, plus a brilliant loft area which could be a 6th bedroom, an office or a quiet retreat.
