A match made in Byron Bay: Equitone Tectiva featured on the eco-friendly Habitat development

Offering a new way to live and work is the purpose-built 12.5 acre mixed-use village designed by architect Dominic Finlay Jones, the sustainably designed Habitat, in Byron Bay NSW. Through-coloured fibre cement panels distributed by Fairview, Equitone's Tectiva fittingly feature over the exterior façade of the eco-friendly development.

Habitat, a collaborative hub which centres around six commercial buildings along with a residential component, was designed to passively control thermal loads and maximise cross ventilation while also including numerous active environmental systems. Equitone Tectiva's proven rain-screen system aids in this process by deflecting rain and heat, and the ventilation space allows air to circulate behind the panels, creating comfort while eliminating condensation and mould growth.
