This house in central Wellington incorporated the construction of a unique insulated louvre system. {see : http://www.atelierworkshop.com/louvre.htm}

This system was developed using aluminium ducting louvres as a base. We placed closed foam insulation and timber on each louvre blade. The louvres sit within a double glazed box that also opens to vent hot air when required.

The louvre system opens in the morning on a photocell and then on thermostats or by manual control.

The system is in effect an active passive solar system.
