Weld St Townhouse
A traditional build on the steepest street in Wadestown, inspired by Te Whare-iti, out offsite manufactured modular design.
The exterior cladding is long-run colour-coated steel for simplicity and low maintenance. The active solar design included tiled masonry thermal masses adjacent to north-facing glazing and ducted re-circulation of warm air throughout the house. Summer cooling is achieved via thermostatically controlled stack ventilation utilising the tower geometry.
