Philosophy

You have heard it said; Location, Location, Location.page_image4

Now we say Design, Design, Design.

Design is the DNA of any great result, having said that all our homes are a result of careful design.

We follow green smart and minimum five star energy rating principles. This ensures a high level of performance from your new home or renovation.

 

 

Concept Design

Concept Design has become a large part of our business in the past years; it started with simple house design and has flowed through to renovation and complete rebuild options. This enables our clients to explore the possibilities before committing to full working drawings.

This option is helpful if you are looking at an existing home for sale and are unsure if page_image5 it will be all you want it to be. We look at the possibilities whether a simple upgrade within the original foot print or a addition is required changing the dimensions, orientation and even the flow of the home to meet your needs.

Of course it is all about life style therefore our first meeting revolves around getting to know your family and what you require out of a home. You may have views to take into account or it may be that you like alfresco dining or have study requirements. The overall might be your main concern including landscape design; these things need to be discussed.

page_image6Once the above has been established we will provide concept drawings. Usually this consists of floor plans along with general elevations. After this we sit down with you and look at the result. Next we fine tune the design to your thinking this generally brings the best result for our clients.

 

 

Design takes in more than just the floor plan.

  • Orientation
  • Energy ratings
  • Colour pallet
  • Landscape design
  • Lighting
  • Interior design

We have been dealing with associated services that take in not only the above but much, much more. Thus you can see the benefit of concept design, in short it.

  • Enables you to see plans and elevations
  • No need for full working drawings at this stage
  • Can be used to make initial inquiry as to planning issues
  • Used in gauging initial energy rating
  • Can be used to establish initial estimates

This service is designed to assist you even if you have your own builder. As smallpage_image7 builders we cannot build all we design and have worked in conjunction with other builders to gain the best results for our clients in the past and will continue to share our experience in this way.

Concept design saves time, money and energy therefore:

Design, Design, Design it makes sense!
