We are Architectural designers and Sustainability Consultants. Design is our passion, sustainability is our goal. To achieve this, we rely on the Passivhaus performance standards to ensure that every inch of our homes are not only beautifully designed, but also calculated and built to surpass the World’s most rigorous energy efficiency, comfort and sustainability standards for buildings.
Your home will probably be the most significant investment of your life. Not just financially, but also in terms of your health and impact on the planet. We can deliver a home that is warm in winter and cool in summer, all at a very low cost. A home that is quiet, free of mould and with a very low carbon footprint.
We view every new home and site as unique. We regard the design process as a collaboration. The home design is your vision based on a series of ideas and aspirations developed over time. We see ourselves as facilitators, using the latest in 3D technology to bring your vision to reality. It would be our priviledge to join you on this journey.
We strive to strike the right balance between providing a beautiful design of premium quality that meets your family’s needs, yet is also sustainable and will stand the test of time. Because we design as well as build, we can optimize the process so that the project is delivered at a reasonable cost
