Dorrigo Home
A Cheminee Phillipe fireplace orders the space around it & provides a warming focus. Carefully drawn & built brickwork adds thermal mass to the insulated slab, which also has hydronic heating & windows oriented to provide passive thermal gain. The tiles have proven durable & deceptive - some people refuse to believe its not really timber! Planning was organised to reflect the owners former home in the hope that it would minimise disruption arising from the change of location.
