How To Turn a Cold, Drafty Villa in to a Warm, Healthy Family Home

We recently completed an interior renovation of this grand Remuera villa. One of the concerns of the family who owned the home was that one of their kids suffered from asthma and the home was cold and damp, which was exacerbating the problem.

​We worked in partnership with Murray Durbin from Enveloped, a company that specialises in supplying systems and products for high performance homes, as well as renovations like this one. The aim was to work together to make the home healthier and more comfortable by creating a warm, low humidity environment.

​To achieve this a layer of insulation was added in the roof and a European balanced heat transfer ventilation system was installed. This system draws in fresh air from outside and filters it before being distributed throughout the house in a ducted system. Stale air is also taken from inside the house, over winter any residual heat is extracted and then the air is exhausted outside.
