Indigo Slam is an inspiring residence built for an art collector in Sydney’s Chippendale. Winning multiple Architecture and Interior Design Awards, the calmness and serenity of the space has been created with the help of a geoexchange heating, cooling and air conditioning system.
This Geoexchange system was a true reflection of our LEAF Design Philosophy. In working closely with the architect, the geoexchange system was able to complement the vision of the architect and the art collector. The geoexchange system is out of sight, out of hearing and out of mind while providing a high level of comfort. Very different indeed to most air conditioning systems that seem to impose themselves onto a home.
