We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to build a home which is well designed for the location. There are a range benefits which come from this. How can we help you achieve this and what are a few of our tips?
Energy Efficiency
With a well designed custom home or granny flat you will reap the rewards of a lower power bill and more comfortable living. Have you ever lived in an estate home surrounded by neighbours fences? Typically you have to run the air-conditioning to cool the house. By choosing an elevated block with a Northerly Aspect you are well on your way to achieving an energy efficient home or granny flat. Build your home to suit your land, aspect and climate. Long term, these three points will become money savers and wise architectural decisions.
Cross Flow Ventilation
When designing custom homes and granny flats on the Sunshine Coast our architect will carefully place windows to maximise air flow through the home.
Natural Light
Bringing natural light into your custom designed home or granny flat has a wide range of health benefits and will save you a bundle off you power bill. When designing your custom designed home or granny flat we will discuss some of these features including modern roof windows which are becoming very popular.
Go Solar
You have the ability to reduce your bills, earn return on your investment, protect against rising energy costs, increase property value, protect the environment and combat greenhouse emissions. Why wouldn’t you consider solar?
