Nestled in the quiet streets of Double Bay, this modern home takes full advantage of its North-facing orientation by flooding the home and garden with warmth and light. The layout embraces an outdoor lifestyle with its seamless connection to the alfresco space, offering versatility and unrestricted living.

The building’s position creates a bright, light-filled experience but also exposes the home to the harsh sun and street visibility. To combat this, a series of custom louvres and screens were designed to provide thermal performance and shield the home from the street view.

Responding to the property’s Northerly aspect and street visibility, Stanic Harding specified custom operable louvres and screens on two adjoining facades. Providing privacy and ultimate control over sunlight entering the house, the horizontal louvres and perforated vertical screens combine beauty and function with the latest smart technology.

Two banks of five perforated aluminium screens are installed on the first floor facade to shield the bedrooms from the sun and street view. On the adjacent facade, three 4-metre ellipsoid aluminium louvres fill a window, providing additional tailored lighting and privacy.

Tilt’s expert engineers designed a fully adjustable actuation mechanism between the screens that allowed for custom positioning. The operable louvres and screens are connected to sophisticated controls, that integrate with the home automation system allowing for reactive response to external lighting conditions.
