A SHARED VISION TO CULTIVATE 8 NATHERS STAR RATED HOMES OF METICULOUS BEAUTY.
Sitting within an enduring locale which fosters a richly diverse built landscape, Fareham has been designed to evolve, contribute to and activate its St Kilda surroundings. Through the vehicle of sustainability, the development has been carefully future enabled, seeking to leave the area better for its very existence.
In collaboration with HIP V. HYPE, a rooftop solar system, energy recovery ventilation (ERV), optimised insulation and glazing and good design pillars have been implemented into the development from project conception to create highly efficient dwellings with 100% renewable energy supply and a NatHERS Star rating of 8-stars.
NET ZERO ENERGY FUTURE PROOFED
Fareham is targeting to require net zero energy in operations. The building’s energy requirements will be minimised by designing highly efficient dwellings (min 8-Star average NatHERS) using passive house principles.
Solar PV (44 x 415W photovoltaic panels producing 18.26kWp) to offset base building power usage and supplement electric heat pump domestic hot water systems.
Fareham will be future proofed including load managed electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, which will allow EV charge stations to be installed easily in the future.
Fareham’s location also means that residents will have easy access to public transport, and live within walking distance to necessities and local shopping. Cycling will be made easy through secure ground floor bike parking, as well as a bike workshop for repairs and maintenance.
WATER FRIENDLY
A central 20kL rainwater tank will be installed for capturing rainwater for reuse in occupant toilet flushing and courtyard irrigation. Water efficient fixtures and fittings will be installed throughout the development, as well as drought tolerant plants to minimise landscape watering requirements. Tap and floor waste provided on each balcony.
HEALTHY SPACES
Natural ventilation, ceiling fans and energy recovery ventilation. Optimised glazing throughout including double glazing, thermally broken windows and low-E coatings.
The building will utilise low VOC materials including paints, adhesives, sealants, and carpets for healthy indoor air quality. It offers residents a sustainable and comfortable living space without harmful chemicals. Biophylics to be harnessed throughout including a pocket park in the podium, a rooftop garden and a welcoming foyer of potted plants and garden outlooks.
