| 103 Higgs Building Co Higgs Building Co uses Formance SIPS panels, which have exceptional thermal and acoustic qualities. BUILDING The generation of moisture is inevitable in any home – from breathing, cooking, showering, making a quick coffee or just watering houseplants. Energy-efficient airflow systems ensure that there is no room for unhealthy mould or musty smells, even when the windows are closed. A “fair amount of science” lies behind modern airflow design. Higgs Building Co uses German-made Stiebel Eltron ventilation systems, which deliver 0.75 fresh air changes per hour, while recovering up to 90% of the energy normally lost through windows and doors and returning it back to the heating system. The home’s benchtops are made of Cosentino Dekton, a carbon-neutral, ultra-compact porcelain surface. Its optimised manufacturing process ensures all the beauty and aesthetics, performance and functionality of natural stone. “We also use plant- and earth-based VoCfree paints from the Natural Paint Co.,” Shaun adds. Built on a 550sqm site, the exemplar high-performance show home makes the most of Cambridge’s rural assets. Despite the advanced technologies and techniques used in its creation, it is a true family home, with room to spread out and enjoy life. Featuring four bedrooms, two ensuites, three living spaces and a family bathroom, it is also prewired for a solar system.
