We begin your project with one of our pre-design services:

Pre-Purchase design advice Lifestyle design options assessment Design options advice

All of our paid pre-design services will cover your requirements and preliminary budget and will include some design concept options (orally presented).

Our lifestyle design options assessment runs for an extra hour (up to three hours). This service is designed for you if you are planning to live in your home for more than seven years. The extra time in this consultation will allow us to give greater consideration to your longer-term needs and how they can be accommodated into your project.

Dion SeminaraTo create a design that suits you, we listen to what you love about your existing home, what isn’t working and how you hope to improve it. We look at how your lifestyle needs will change in the future and then work with you to provide innovative design solutions that respond.

We specialise in sensitive solutions to character homes and sites. We understand the local council town planning and building rules. We are able to provide either contemporary or character design solutions to complement the original features of the property.

On average the difference between the quotes we receive is approximately 30%. The potential cost saving to you through this process can well and truly cover the cost of your design fees.

An architect must complete a university degree followed by two years of supervised practical experience. After this they then have to sit both a written and verbal Architectural Practice Examination. Only after completion of this can they call themselves an architect, and even then they must complete compulsory professional development to maintain their qualification. They are also subject to the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Code of Conduct which includes obligations to the public, the client, profession and colleagues.

All those extra years of training give an architect the skills to look at the bigger picture and consider solutions that may deliver you a result far better than you ever imagined. A result that is perfectly tailored to your living needs, location and personal style rather than a ‘cookie cutter’ design that doesn’t work for your family’s needs.

We are passionate about lowering our carbon footprint and reducing our dependency on non-renewable forms of electricity. In fact we have recently installed a 7.5kw solar power plant on the roof of our office as we work towards becoming completely carbon neutral.

Nature provides us with cooling summer breezes and yet so many homes that are built today fail to take advantage of this natural gift. Our designs maximise the natural flow of air across your property enabling you to cool your home cost effectively. Through clever eco-housing designs and the use of strategies like open designs, breezeways and natural convection we can promote cross ventilation throughout your home keeping it fresh, cool and healthy the natural way.

As eco architects we understand that naturally heating and cooling your home is only half the battle. There is little point to a design that allows the low winter sun to warm your home only to see that heat escape through lack of insulation; which is why we focus heavily on ceiling and wall insulation in our home designs along with the use of natural materials that have insulating properties.
