Sustainable Design

 

Sustainable Design

For close to 20 years we have provided Sustainable Design services within a range of construction budgets for Residential and Commercial building in Traditional, Contemporary, Heritage Architecture & Interior Design styles.

DESIGN SERVICE REPORTS | SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

A Design Service Report, is suited to new building design for residential homes, unit development, town house, apartment development, and new commercial workplace or new retail shop design. The service provides a sketch design masterplan tailored to new building designs and provides Town Planning investigation (if required), Building Permit Application requirements and an indication of a budget you may require.

DESIGN SERVICE REPORTS | SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Design Service Reports, fall into one of two options. Design Service Report | Ground Level, is for ground level only or Design Service Report | Ground & First Level, combines two storey (or more) new residential or commercial buildings. Both Design Service Reports assess and propose Sustainable Design measures to the degree a client desires. The service provides direction toward specific energy demand and building performance objectives. These objectives can be assessed with budget, quality and timing issues to determine project feasibility.

The Design Service Report is a fixed fee service. Detailed service and price information can be viewed here

Design Ecologies P/L Environmental Sustainable Architecture formerly a Melbourne-based ESD Green Sustainability Architecture firm is now a project based studio within MAIArchitects | Robert Marcuccio Architects. We continue to focus on measurable architectural sustainability targets that deliver on the synthesis of design aesthetics and building energy performance with clients who desire specific ESD architecture and / or interior design outcomes. This website offers a summary of some projects and designs relating to environmental, social and economic sustainability targets through architecture.


Mullum Creek House

Energy Rating 7.5 Stars. Acting as a contract consultant architect and interior designer for a drafting firm. The two storey home re-design required the Mullum Creek Development Guideline 7.5 Star Energy Rating. This was achieved with a strong background in passive house design and active renewable technology principles. Role: Architecture Design, Interior Design & Energy Rating Consultant.


Fairfield Townhouse

 Controlling west facing building from harsh summer is a challenge. This Fairfield Townhouse Development develops a mid 20th century idea of the brise soliel with a contemporary western red cedar facade. This deep shaded frontage contrasts with the starkness of curved white walls across the streetscape. Role: Architecture Design Consultant

A Design Consultation Advice Service is recommended if you’re uncertain of your budget and the type of design achievable within your specific circumstances.
