House Soleta Edge occupies a plot on the outskirts of a suburban settlement — south-facing, with strict setback rules from the property boundaries that shaped every aspect of the massing.
The client's requirement for enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation drove the wall build-up specification beyond standard. Natural wood fibre insulation at increased thickness, combined with a vapour-permeable membrane, delivers measurably superior performance.
The result is a home that performs at the top of its envelope specification while remaining within all planning constraints.
Challenge
A plot on the outskirts of a suburban settlement, south-facing, with strict setback rules from the property boundaries, combined with the client's requirement for enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation.
Approach
Classic frame with increased insulation specification. Natural wood fibre at greater thickness. Vapour-permeable membrane throughout. Massing resolved within strict boundary setbacks.
Outcome
Enhanced thermal and acoustic performance documented on completion. Home within all planning constraints. Client reports measurably quieter interior than conventional construction.
- South-facing within strict setback envelope
- Enhanced insulation — natural wood fibre at increased thickness
- Acoustic performance documented on completion
- Vapour-permeable construction throughout
