Where Design Meets Performance 

In collaboration with Mountford Williamson Architecture and Smith Builders, this Adelaide Hills residence was designed to frame expansive views while maintaining a high-performance thermal envelope. 

AWS ThermalHEART™

The backbone of this project is the AWS Elevate 804 Series framing. Chosen for its bold, structural profile, this commercial-grade system allows for larger spans of glass without compromising on stability.

  • The Difference: Features a polyamide thermal break, creating a barrier between internal and external temperatures.
  • The Finish: Coated in Interpon Matt Black for a durable finish.

24mm Viridian Lightbridge IGUs

The glass selection is the critical "hero" for energy efficiency in the Adelaide Hills. This project features 24mm Insulated Glass Units with Viridian Lightbridge technology.

  • Thermal Control: Significantly reduces heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.
  • Acoustics: The dual-pane construction provides superior sound dampening.

See how this high-performance glazing package brings the architectural vision to life in the Adelaide Hills.

The glazing package ensures that the home’s bold aesthetic is matched by its resilience against the Adelaide Hills climate.

Aneeta Thermaglide Sashless

For areas requiring ventilation without the visual clutter of traditional window frames, we integrated Aneeta Thermaglide sashless inserts.

  • The Look: Provides the appearance of fixed glazing while allowing for clear, adjustable airflow.
  • The Function: A minimalist solution that fits perfectly within the AWS Elevate framing, maintaining the home’s clean, contemporary lines.

The AWS Elevate Commercial ThermalHEART™ system ensures the project’s striking aesthetic is matched by superior thermal resilience, delivering high-performance insulation tailored for the Adelaide Hills climate.

Sliding & Hinged Doors

To achieve the indoor-outdoor flow essential for South Australian living, we utilised the AWS Vantage 731 Sliding and Elevate 852 Hinged door systems.

  • Operation: Engineered for effortless movement even with large-scale high-performance glass.
  • Protection: Exceptional weather sealing ensures that even in the high wind loads of the Hills, the home remains weather-tight and quiet.

Centor Retractable Screens

To extend the home’s living footprint, we utilised Centor retractable screens to enclose the ground-level deck. This integration transforms the deck into a flexible outdoor room that can be utilised regardless of the conditions.

  • Seamless Transition: The screens allow for a flush connection between the interior and the deck, providing an effortless flow that is perfect for entertaining.
  • All-Weather Protection: By enclosing the deck area, the screens provide essential protection against insects, while still allowing the natural Adelaide Hills breeze to circulate.
  • Minimalist Design: When retracted, the screens are completely hidden within the frames, ensuring the architectural transition remains clean and unobstructed.
