That Maximises The Views, Privacy And Comforts Of Your Acreage Block, While Avoiding Mistakes People Make When Building On Acreage

Too many people build a city or suburban house on their acreage property and wonder why it’s so uncomfortable. An acreage house must be designed and built to withstand the open climatic conditions of acreage landscapes. We have special (and personal) experience building energy efficient acreage homes that maximise the views, privacy, and tranquillity, and are comfortable all year round. We don’t merely build acreage homes, we help you establish your property with services including (off-grid) power, water, sewerage, and irrigation. And we help you understand all costs so there are no nasty surprises.

Whether you choose to build to Certified Passivhaus Standards or simply want a high-quality narrow block home, we follow passive house principles to give you a healthier home that is more comfortable and energy-efficient, saving you thousands in energy and maintenance costs. The difference is so noticeable visitors will ask, “How is your house so comfortable?”

Through our systemised Design Discussions, we take time to truly understand the vision you have for your home. We help you to clarify and enhance your ideas. And we freely offer advice from our 8 years of experience, making you aware of all your options (the pros, cons, and costs). The result is one-of-a-kind design that suits your lifestyle, reflects your personality, and feels like home.

Now you’ve found us, you can relax – your research is done. You don’t have to try to coordinate a suite of professional services and risk miscommunications, delays, and buck passing. We have a complete team to help with every aspect of your home, from concept to completion.

Most new homes look okay at first glance. But lurking under the plaster and paint you’ll often find major defects waiting to emerge as future problems. Sadly, most modern homes will need major (structural) renovation or even demolition within 30 years. This is a tragedy when you consider it doesn’t need to cost more to build houses (like ours) that will last 100+ years. We’re proud of the fact our homes will still be standing strong, long after we’re gone.

Premium, energy-efficient building materials can be expensive. But with the right knowledge, the difference in price between a standard home and a more comfortable, low-maintenance, energy-efficient home is as little as 5%. The key is knowing where to prioritise spending for maximum impact. We give you the guidance you need to get more house for your money.

There’s no doubt, skilled architects design impressive houses. But they don’t always consider the practicalities of building to a budget. And as a result, their homes often cost way more than they need to. We take time to understand what you want, give you a choice of options, and have the skills and experience to incorporate architectural features into your home without adding to the cost.
