Swannanoa High-performance house
The Swannanoa High-Performance Home is another collaboration between Dan Saunders Construction and Anne Salmond from Wanaka based Salmond Architecture, this 75sqm secondary dwelling plus a 2-car garage packs a lot of punch for its size!
This home features 90 series Ecopanel - Structural Insulated Wall System, XLAM (cross laminated timber) and a Lunos Heat Recovery System. Shading by way of specifically designed pergolas helps control the summer sun and prevent overheating.
The clients have commented on the fact that the hardly ever use the heating even in the coldest time of winter due to the fantastic performance of the thermal envelope. This wonderful small home was built on a modest budget and was a test run for the future family home to be built.
