“The house has been designed to take its location
and orientation into account,” says architect Glen
spicer. “It takes advantage of cool sea breezes with
good cross-ventilation.” There are also ceiling fans
in each room, plus carefully sited shutters, louvres
and bifold doors. “There’s always somewhere cool
to retreat to,” says Kerrie. “We do have ducted
airconditioning upstairs,” adds Rob, “but we
only used it about three times last summer.”
