GREEN LIVING
Sustainable Development
Architecture
Units have been designed to be aesthetically appealing yet functional, with effective use of space. Building materials utilised are eco-friendly and energy efficient, that blend into the natural surroundings seamlessly.
Natural Light
Units have been positioned to accentuate privacy and views while maximising north light where possible.
Ventilation
Window and Door Openings are strategically located to provide sufficient natural ventilation.
Glazing
All window panes are weather sealed and double glazed with a protective film reducing glare and noise pollution.
Water Wise
All points are fitted with low flow fittings to reduce water consumption. Water-harvesting is encouraged, and available as an optional extra, ideally in the form of subterranean tanks with submersible pumps, or alternatively, if located on the ground plane to be fully screened from both horizontal and vertical view and integrated with the respective units.
Lighting
Lighting is designed to seamlessly and effortlessly blend into and complement the building whilst limiting light pollution and saving energy.
Energy Saving & Efficiency
In compliance with SANS 10400, homes are fitted with a combination of conventional geysers and heat pumps. Photovoltaic cell arrays are encouraged and is available as an optional extra, which must be attached to building structure and fully screened from view.
Landscape
The landscaping design is paramount to the overall appeal of the estate and seeks to maintain the existing trees where possible and include additional indigenous vegetation for screening and privacy.
