At Dion Seminara Architecture we understand eco homes and housing and sustainable living principles allowing us to create stunning designs that are environmentally friendly and take advantage of what the climate offers.

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.

With our growing population and unpredictable climate conserving water has become a high priority. For this reason our eco architectural designs focus on three main areas being:1. rain water

harvesting,2. water usage

reduction and3. water recycling.

We do this through rainwater storage tanks, careful planning of outdoor areas and things like grey water recycling systems. Our designs are highly drought tolerant. So if water conservation is important to you, then a Dion Seminara designed home is exactly what you need.

So as you can see at Dion Seminara Architecture we have a thorough understanding of eco housing design principles. As eco architects, we believe strongly in helping our clients reduce their housing footprint through the creation of sustainable homes that are eco friendly with the added benefit of being inexpensive to run.
