Eco Friendly Hideaway Eco Friendly HideawayThis very special home has been architecturally designed to blend into its natural surroundings whilst minimising its impact on the environment. The layout has been carefully thought out to take advantage of northern light in a passive solar design. Situated in a group of only 7 dwellings you'll feel like you are on a permanent holiday but be right in the middle of all Fremantle has to offer - culture, cafes, shops, transport. Designed by Gervas Design Perth to maximise natural light, space and functionality, this is a home that has stood the test of time with its clever use of materials and finishes.Beyond the entry hall is a spacious open plan kitchen living/dining area with high ceilings that spills out onto the adjoining covered deck which is surrounded by native bush. The perfect spot for an evening drink or meal. The living/dining area is naturally warmed by the morning sun in winter. The kitchen has a modern functional design with stainless steel benchtops and views out to the gardens and open to the living/dining area.A study nook separates the living areas from the two large size bedrooms and a shared bathroom/laundry with separate toilet. An additional storage room is accessed from the outside of the home. There is a carport with additional parking for another car.The property falls into the John Curtin catchment area.STATEMENT OF DESIGN ETHOS: The car parking is a result of deciding on a large central garden which is cooler and more private than the usual central bitumen drive and enhances the garden to attract all local bird life, water wise species and was designed by Apace in North Fremantle. The roof, walls and support footings are all galvanised steel to provide a lightweight vermin proof structure. Low density buildings don't absorb then radiate heat like masonry buildings reducing the need for night time air conditioning. The central hall acts as a cooling tower for the house and potentially could accommodate a small mezzanine with access via pull down stairs or marine type companionway steps. The windows are double hung for more efficient ventilation and better security. Warm air exits at the top and cool air is pulled in at the bottom of the window. The use of natural materials and energy efficiency will endear this home to those who want to "touch the earth lightly".Property Code: 1273
