One of the most important factors in home design is:
"the environmental factor".
A home designed around the environmental aspects of the site will be far more pleasant and inexpensive to live in.

These two images depict the summer (high sun position) and winter (low sun position) on a dwelling. The effect of this is one of the considerations we look at when designing your home.

An important ingredient in design is to create an energy efficient i.e. "comfortable" or "user friendly" building designed around the natural conditions of the site, its location on the site and the structure. This greatly lessons the need for insulation, cooling and heating systems.

Environmental design, features such things as wide eaves to keep summer heat off walls, direct sunlight to winter walls for early warmth, skylights and solar cowles, cross ventilation, insulation, and many other environmentally friendly features.
