The form of the building with it’s opposing skillion roofs echoes the wings of a parrot in flight. The floorplan has been designed into two clear zones to suit heating and cooling requirements. All living and daytime zones have great access to north or east glazing, whilst the night time and unconditioned areas are planted on the south with no risk of evening overheating. The opposing skillion roofs create a form which echoes the swift parrot in flight, opening up our façade to the northern sun.
