Lyndurst
The classic beauty of limestone brickwork and the warm, rustic
appeal of Corten steel combine to a striking façade on this home by
NPR Building Concepts. Folded on-site, the Corten steel's pattern
was designed to resemble reptile skin. A standout feature of the
property, the steel was also used on the home's pergola, with the
posts laser-cut in an intricate bamboo design.
This impressive home is a credit to both NPR Building Concepts
and the homeowners, who designed the property. The home was
designed to suit the small and unusually-shaped plot and was
achieved through open communication between the builder and the
clients. The homeowners`very particular design and finish
requirements were met through the use of quality tradesmen that
know their job and NPR Building Concepts expectations of finishes
and workmanship.
As well as winning points for its aesthetic value, the home also
promotes green living, with an energy rating of 7.3. This was
achieved through considered design and selection of materials.
The limestone walls provide twice the insulation than that of a
brick wall, while the slab features enhanced thermal
performance. As well as high R-value insulation, the home
features double-glazed windows, resulting in high
energy-efficiency. Angled sun shades on the home's pergola allow
the sun to penetrate through in winter, while providing shade
in summer.
