Home is where we go to relax and recuperate from the day’s work and all the pressures and worries of everyday life.
There are certain key criteria to satisfactory unwinding, and a comfortable space that is both quiet and calming is one of the most significant of these.
Built with innovative materials, Stand 47, Saint-Gobain’s case study home in Lanseria, is a perfect example of such an ideal environment for everyday relaxation. Using a combination of passive design and high-tech materials, Stand 47 manages the internal temperature with a fluctuation of only 3 °C, even in extreme weather, with the outside temperature fluctuating by 17 °C. Similarly, the combination of modern interiors and warm materials such as wood and wool creates a sense of modern spaciousness that is familiar and comfortable.
Nadine Theron, a multimedia journalist at Netwerk24, experienced this ideal environment for herself when she spent the night at Stand 47 as a Winter Rest Pilot. “I loved how I always felt at ease and relaxed in the open space. My penchant for minimalist spaces means a room can often feel cold and empty, but the atmosphere at Stand 47 is cheery.”
Saint-Gobain produces innovative construction materials for better homes – homes that make their residents feel better, healthier and more comfortable, and that are kinder to the environment than conventional buildings.
Not satisfied by making this claim without tangible proof, Saint-Gobain built Stand 47 using these materials so others could experience this improved home for themselves. The result? A home that offers a host of benefits to your sense of wellbeing, not least of all the ability to relax.
