Sussex Street Residence

A small home build using the very best in sustainable and eco friendly technologies by Mountford Architects

Designed and built for an owner who wanted a small home that made the most of light and space, this steel and timber framed project employed efficient design and construction techniques to provide open plan living over two levels.

The upstairs bedroom, bathroom and study have deliberately been designed to take advantage of the views of the trees on the block while a downstairs bedroom and bathroom have been designed with the owners eventual ageing in mind.

The high ceilinged living space opens directly to the north and uses cross ventilation, thermal massing and sun shading devices to achieve desired levels of thermal comfort. When completed the home will be a distinctive addition to the streetscape.
