CASE STUDY

The Isaacs Ridge Chalets feature a number of different elements that take full advantage of the location and environment. A 10 chalet development on the western side of Margaret River, the chalets use the natural elements to provide heating and cooling whenever weather conditions allow.

The design of the chalets allows guests to enjoy the relaxing feel of a cool breeze or warm sunshine unmatched by artificial methods.

chalets take advatge of the natural elements

During winter and spring, the chalets have been designed so that opening northern facing blinds during the day will allow sunshine in, whilst closing the same blinds at sunset will retain heat in the house.

Conversely, during summer and autumn, keeping blinds partially closed to avoid direct entry of direct sunlight, and opening windows to allow for cross ventilation will keep the house cool.
