Innovative Non-thermal solutions for H1 and Acoustic Compliance

Solari and MG Property

Eighteen Oxford is a modern multi-residential project in Tawa, Wellington, offering nine architecturally designed homes in a prime central location. Designed by Solari and built by MRG Property, the development includes five three-bedroom homes and four two-bedroom homes, creating a low-maintenance, high-quality living environment for modern homeowners.

Set on a flat, sunny site just a short walk from Tawa town centre and the train station, the project was designed to bring together seamless experiences in everyday life. With shops, cafés, schools, and public transport all close by, the development supports convenient, connected living for residents.

Meeting H1 and acoustic requirements across the development
Supplying acoustic entry panels to achieve the required sound reduction levels
Supporting the Solari Architects during the consent process with UNO product selection and specification suggestions.
Delivering 73 windows and doors efficiently for the builder to install.

UNO worked closely with the team during the consent phase, assisting with details, product selection, and specification queries to keep the project moving seamlessly.

How does UNO help you comply with H1 Requirements?

UNO delivered an adaptable and efficient end-to-end solution, carefully specified to meet H1 and acoustic requirements while maintaining project efficiency.

The UNO Non-Thermal suite was selected as a practical approach, allowing compliance without adding unnecessary complexity or cost.

To meet acoustic requirements, specialised acoustic entry panels were incorporated to achieve the required sound reduction levels, supporting a quieter living environment.
