Architectural Insights | Making your home more sustainable
Sustainable design goes beyond technological enhancements - it starts with looking at light, ventilation and materiality.
๐
Make the most of natural light - bring daylight into the room wherever possible with carefully positioned windows, vertical stacking doors and skylights.
๐ Allow for natural passive ventilation - creating the opportunities for cross-ventilation will enable your home to be cooled naturally, reducing the need for air conditioning.
โก Make the switch from gas to electric - the most efficient way to reduce your environmental footprint and minimise running costs and reliance on fossil fuels.
๐จ Choose materials that are enduring - when deciding on materials, consider selecting based on durability and longevity to avoid needing frequent maintenance or, heaven forbid, replacement.
