Introducing Naya Haus – a stylish office & residential home. Featuring sweeping views over Cairns from almost every room, a fully tiled & heated pool, gym & pottery studio. Incorporating solar panels and a water tank as well as sustainable and recycled materials where possible.

This house is a tropical take on a Scandinavian Barn with elements of Japanese influence, designed to highlight different styles and materials that are not readily seen in the area. The new build, while having a dark exterior, achieved a high energy efficiency rating using specific design principals and the incorporation of Breezway Altair Louvre Windows.

With views out to Green Island from almost every room, the extensive use of Breezway Louvre Windows ensures cooling breezes flow throughout the house. In some instances, Breezway Louvres have been strategically paired with large panes of fixed glass to help frame the beautiful scenic view or have been installed with frosted glass blades to provide privacy in bathrooms whilst providing abundant natural ventilation.
