With the help of Ms James’ brother, and her endless research into European building codes, the home’s exterior walls are double framed with an extra gap in the middle to provide additional insulation for warmth, while an insulated slab has hydronic heating in the floors.
With soaring ceilings, cement flooring and edgy industrial touches, the home succeeds in maintaining a warmth throughout.
"The whole idea was to have low running costs, it's got 10 kilowatts of solar panels on the roof," she said, adding a solar passive design allows for cooling in summer, and warmth in winter.
“And then it was just about bringing light, space into that room. We've got a very large extended family so we wanted to be able to have 40 people for lunch.
“It’s been an amazing entertaining house.”
Four wood burning fireplaces are dotted in and around the property, while a custom designed pizza oven sits near the outdoor patio.
Soaring ceiling heights, and industrial details are teamed with striking timber features throughout, which includes timber panelling in the kitchen from an old building in Sydney.
A sprawling timber island bench takes centre stage of the commercial style chefs’ kitchen, which has a double Fisher & Paykel gas stove/electric oven, stainless steel benches and shelving.
“People just walk in the door and just look up and around and just say, ‘Oh my god, it’s just a warm, beautiful and a light space,’” Ms James said.
