DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS
FOR A QUALITY HOME
-
Envision a home that exudes stunning beauty with a timeless aesthetic, ensuring lasting value. This home transcends fleeting fads and trends, embracing design features, materials, and textures that have stood the test of time. Using natural materials like stone, wood, and linen, complemented by beautiful light and fresh, filtered air, each space is crafted to be both neutral and inspiring. These environments provide a blank canvas for you to layer your memories, while also being captivating enough to ignite your imagination and support your family’s growth to thrive over time.
-
Imagine a home perfectly tailored to your present and future needs, seamlessly integrating into your daily life. This home is designed to work in harmony with you, easing the burden of everyday tasks and enhancing your overall well-being. Thoughtfully planned to adapt to future changes, it eliminates the need for major renovations, allowing you to continue loving the space you're in. With intelligent design and flexible spaces, your home grows with you, providing a simple, elegant solution to modern living.
-
Imagine a home designed with your family’s health and wellbeing at its core. This home features advanced systems that continuously remove moisture which can lead to mould, allergens, VOCs, dust, dander, viruses, and other airborne contaminants from your internal spaces. The building fabric acts as a protective barrier, filtering out carbon monoxide, particulate matter, radon, bushfire smoke, etc. from entering your home. This significantly reduces the risk of diseases such as stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and both chronic and acute respiratory conditions, including asthma.
Envision a home that balances focus and fun, enabling you to work from home while seamlessly supporting normal family life. Enhanced sleep quality is achieved by preventing the buildup of CO2 in bedrooms, allowing your brain to fall into a deeper sleep, which in turn boosts your family’s daily productivity and potential for self-improvement and goal achievement.
Finally, surrounding yourself with natural materials and creating seamless connections to the natural environment elevates mood and long-term wellbeing, fostering a deeper sense of connection to the world around you.
-
Consider a home that rarely requires heating or cooling systems to maintain a stable and comfortable internal environment. This home efficiently utilises body heat, occupancy, and natural environmental warmth to sustain comfort. Experience a living space with no drafts, cold spots, or overheating—no need for multiple blankets to stay warm. Imagine a home where you can wear shorts and a t-shirt year-round (just remember to layer up before stepping outside!). This level of performance ensures consistent comfort and energy efficiency, allowing you to enjoy a balanced and harmonious living experience.
-
Imagine a home where you pay no energy bills. This impeccably designed home uses minimal heating and cooling systems, optimises natural light to reduce the need for artificial lighting, and captures and reuses water, helping to prevent flooding while providing you with an essential life source. Additionally, it features a productive garden that not only nourishes your family but also encourages biodiversity and reduces local heat sinks.
Coupled with these savings, this house is equipped with solar panels and a battery system that meets or exceeds your daily energy needs. This allows you to charge your EV and run your household at net zero operational cost. What's more, the market highly values these features, with homes like this selling for 28.8% more in 2023. Embrace a self-sufficient lifestyle that benefits both your family and the environment

Picture your forever home. It has everything you need in the short and long term, seamlessly aligning with your daily life and adapting to inevitable changes. This home is low maintenance and boasts net zero operational costs. It’s inspiring and cosy, a hub for family and friends that keeps you socially connected. It sustains and supports your family's development, creating a healthy and safe cocoon where they can thrive.
This home will become so emotionally valuable that selling it will be a last resort. Instead, you’ll pass it down from generation to generation.
This is true sustainability. Leave a legacy.

Greg & Sarah Simon
“The comment from the outset that this was 'our' home and not just some architecturally designed showpiece that would look good on a website. Since working with them our mindset has expanded where we look at not only the house but the planet; we became much more conscious of the environment.”
