CplusC’s Aquas Perma Solar Firma project has been featured online at Sanctuary – Modern Green Homes.
Aquas Perma Solar Firma was included in this article due to it’s highly unusual and unique design approach to circulation in this inner city terrace.
“As part of this renovation of a narrow Sydney terrace, CplusC Architectural Workshop moved the staircase to the front facade, improving the flexibility of the internal spaces. The semi-circular stairwell pushes into the front garden and is clad with strips of glass and timber, allowing a subtle visual connection to the street; it doubles as a greenhouse for the plants below the stairs. The spiral stair is made from angled steel welded on site, with recycled spotted gum treads; the timber unit that serves as the first three steps also contains storage.”
