A home that 'feels like you'
The 6 design elements for transforming an ordinary house into an extraordinary sanctuary.
"Three times we've won the Master Builders award for building the best homes in Australia. It turns out,
there's a science to it. We've identified 6 overarching principles, that no matter where you are building,
if you follow these principles, you will produce an extraordinary home." Luke Davies
PURPOSE.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A DREAM HOME?
A home is so much more than just a roof over your head. Your home must align with your vision for your future. It must help you achieve your goals for life, include space for all the activities you love, match your phase of life and cater to the needs of each person who will reside in the space.
LANDSCAPE.
EVERY HOME EXISTS IN ITS OWN SPECIFIC SETTING, WHICH INCLUDES GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, TOPOGRAPHY, CLIMATE AND TERRAIN.
Your home design should respond to the particularities of your site and you should carefully consider factors such as rainfall, temperature extremes, access issues, the threat of bushfire, flood or wind, the proximity of neighbours and many other factors.
FUNCTION.
SMART DESIGN AND A CLEVER FLOOR PLAN CAN CHANGE YOUR HABITS AND PROMPT YOU TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOU EVERY TIME YOU COME HOME.
Your home is a working space where activities need to be carried out in the most efficient way possible. A functional layout can minimise housework and clutter, solve storage issues and even support positive habits and reduce relationship tensions.
HEALTH.
REDUCE SCREENS AND WIFI. INCREASE NATURE. HOMES AND WORKPLACES DISCONNECT US FROM THE NATURAL ELEMENTS THAT BALANCE OUR HORMONES.
How many unseen factors cause daily stress on your body and emotions? Your home should support your physical and emotional wellbeing.
FEELING.
WHEN YOU ENTER YOUR HOME, IT SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL A CERTAIN WAY. WE CAN CREATE MOODS AND EVOKE SENSES BY DESIGNING WITH THE FEELING OF THE SPACE IN MIND.
The feeling that comes from your home involves stirring all your senses - when you get the feeling right, you should feel positive and uplifted when you enter the space and you should wake up refreshed, rejuvenated and inspired to live life and chase your goals.
TECHNOLOGY.
USE HIGH PERFORMANCE PRINCIPLES AND TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE A STURDY BUILDING ENVELOPE WHICH WILL LAST LONGER AND REDUCE YOUR ENERGY CONSUMPTION.
Advances in design technology and techniques are improving our ability to respond to the demands of the changing climate. When you design and build in alignment with nature, you feel more grounded ... and shrink your carbon footprint.
