By bridging the gap between architecture and specialized science, we ensure your home is as healthy, comfortable and enviromentally responsible as it is beautiful. READ MORE
On the drawing board in 2026:
High Performance Queenslander
We are currently renovating and future proofing a beautiful old timber Queenslander in suburban Paddington. Our focus is protecting its unique character while making it comfortable, healthy and energy efficient for the long term.
Passive House
We are collaborating with local Passive House design and construction experts H4 Living.
Life Cycle Assessment
We believe in data. We are measuring and reducing the environmental impact and carbon footprint of our design to demonstrate what’s possible for a subtropical renovation.
