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.

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.
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.
