Building a house in the suburbs of bustling Sydney is always complicated by various problems. The task becomes even more difficult when you have to work with limited space. Plywood House II by Andrew Burges Architects is situated on a long and narrow site. It is surrounded by several other houses and a busy street. This apartment is ideal for those who want to have a cozy family nest away from prying eyes. The house with a touch of smart suggests special mechanisms of natural ventilation, and the wide windows allow a combination of electric and natural light.
On the top floor of the house there are bedrooms and bathrooms. The use of wooden materials gives the interior a warm and comfortable atmosphere. At the same time the view from the upper floor of the house is limited. The motto of this elegant and functional home in Sydney might be, “Practicality ahead of aesthetics.”.

Can you provide more details about the natural ventilation system used in Plywood House II? I’m curious to know how the architects achieved effective ventilation and if it has any impact on energy efficiency or indoor air quality.
