The Good Home
Advice for building sustainable homes and extensions
You home is a sanctuary and an expression of who you are
Starting a project right makes all the difference. It’s the same with construction as with anything else. Asking the right questions of your design, finding the right people, forming the right team, avoiding the common mistakes (and less common), being realistic with what you can do with what you have in terms of finances/time/personal energy.
Start your project with some good advice.
Some client feedback
Couldn’t have done it without your guidance.
“We worked out what we could do, and more imporantly, what we couldn’t do. We needed the parameters of what was possible with out budget and connections with the people who could help us. Thank you.”
— Sanjid and Claire - Ivanhoe, Vic.
Good design and warm in winter without turning on the heater!
“Hugo encouraged us to consider ‘Passive House’ desgin principles and we worked with a Passive House designer to come up with a fantastic design. Warm in winter and cool in summer, just through good design and good people.”
— Louise and Mark, Mornington Peninsula, Vic.
Got me moving on a building idea that i didn’t know how to start.
“Thanks Hugo for getting my idea going. I had sat on the idea for so long i just couldn’t get it started, or how to start. I needed your gentle push to show me how to do it. Cheers.”
