North Bank Concept Design
Project: North Bank Concept Design
Client: Peddle Thorpe Architects
Category: Medium scale Commercial and Residential
This was an early version of a building that is now built in Melbourne CBD, in a prestigious location on the north bank of the Yarra. This early design set a high benchmark for ESD performance, and included a very large solar Photovoltaic system on the roof (visible).
As with many concept designs this scheme did not eventuate but served as an excellent design study for what was technically possible.

Davis Living Base Antartica
Project: Davis Living Quarters, Antarctica
Client: Australian Antarctic Division
Category: Extreme Residential
Description
ESD Consultant and energy modelling for the design of the new Davis Station Living Quarters in Antarctica.
Sustainable design advice has included the modelling and assessment of the building to determine and optimise the:
- Thermal efficiency of the highly specialised building envelope, with various types of unique construction/insulation material and window/glazing types, sizes and locations.
- Critical daylight penetration into the building, assessing the predicted occupant comfort levels related to a sense of connectivity to the outdoors to prevent the onset of ‘cabin fever’.
The obvious issues of fuel supply required the design of the new living quarters to be super high performance with quadruple glazed windows, R4.0 walls etc.
