Not every old home can be saved — and in this case, the
original dwelling was beyond repair. But rather than default to the common
approach of building small, cramped units, our clients chose a better path.
Through a collaborative and well-informed consultation
process, we explored the full potential of the site — weighing not just cost,
but long-term value for both the family and the neighbourhood. With our
guidance on planning rules, architectural possibilities, and construction
methodology, our clients confidently opted to build two generously sized,
family-oriented townhouses.
The brief extended beyond just space — it was about
comfort, health, and future-proofing. These homes were designed to be warm in
winter, cool in summer — a promise too often made but rarely delivered. We
achieved this through passive solar design, carefully selected materials, and
smart, appropriate technology.
These are homes that support families, respect the community, and prove that smarter choices lead to better outcomes.
