25.01.2022 Myth busted! Opponents of clean, renewable energy like to pigeonhole solar owners as affluent households or ‘champagne sippers and the latte set’ but we’ve jus...t proved them wrong. Solar Citizens’ latest report shows that solar is proportionately the most popular in the poorest communities and on less valuable homes. It just goes to show that solar is a solution helping everyday Australians slash their bills

25.01.2022 When we build, let us think that we build forever. ~ John Ruskin

24.01.2022 The concept of solar architecture is nothing new. The ancient Greeks utilized the benefits of the sun some 2,500 years ago. With the short supply of wood as fuel they found it necessary to build their houses to take advantage of the sun´s rays during the moderately cool winters, and to avoid the sun´s heat during the hot summers. For a well designed solar home, contact Design For Seasons today.

24.01.2022 The ceiling/roof area is the major path for heat loss and gain. This area is the most important part of a building fabric to insulate. The walls and floors should also be insulated if framed or in combination with thermal mass. Want a home with proper insulation? Contact Design For Seasons today. We can make your home as comfortable as you want it to be!

22.01.2022 Architecture is an expression of values.

22.01.2022 The typical Australian nature strip can be more than just lawn. Some councils allow house owners to turn their nature strip into gardens with native planting or edible plants, creating diversity in flowers and greenery, increasing biodiversity. There should be more flexibility from all councils.

22.01.2022 The ideal house should be no deeper than 2 rooms to allow for good cross ventilation. Another passive form of ventilation is locating openings at a higher level in the building creating a stack effect. This encourages the movement of warm air up and out of the building and drawing cooler air in at the lower level. Want a home with proper ventilation? Contact Design For Seasons today on 0418 449 113.

18.01.2022 Life is architecture and architecture is the mirror of life. ~I. M. Pei

14.01.2022 Light is what gives joy to buildings. ~Jaquelin Robertson

12.01.2022 Correct orientation of your home and the site allows you to maximize sunshine when it is needed for warmth, and to exclude the sun’s heat when it is not needed. For a home with proper orientation, contact Design For Seasons today.

11.01.2022 Architecture is inhabited sculpture. ~Constantin Brancusi

11.01.2022 Here is a showcase of rammed earth houses to suit each owner’s requirements. Rammed earth has great thermal properties, is a unique tactile material, and can be used to create individual feature walls as demonstrate here. Check this out.. Give Design For Seasons a call or email to discuss your needs. We can help make your vision a reality.

11.01.2022 The roof receives the most amount of direct sunshine. As a result heat becomes trapped in the roof space and will pass through the ceiling and into the rooms below. A light coloured roof to reflect unwanted heat, and appropriate levels of insulation will dramatically reduce heat penetration into the rooms. For more information on passive cooling design, contact Design For Seasons today.

07.01.2022 Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness. ~Frank Gehry

05.01.2022 Situated on a large open site in the Perth hills, this residential compound has sheltered courtyard spaces providing shade, natural light to the interiors and direct sun to these interior spaces in winter. A standout design feature is the skillion roof line. This roof design allowed for high level windows to capture northern sun in winter and provided natural light and ventilation into the interiors of the building.

05.01.2022 This massive solar plant can generate power even when it's dark out. All thanks to a secret ingredient that could revolutionize renewable energy. #YEARSproject #WeCanSolveThis

05.01.2022 Every building must have... its own soul. ~Louis Kahn

04.01.2022 Passive solar heating can dramatically reduce energy costs.Passive solar heating is free when designed into a new home or addition. Designing for passive solar heating is basically keeping summer sun out and letting winter sun in. For more info, contact Design For Seasons today.

04.01.2022 There are alternative building materials to double brick. Hempcrete is sustainable, a breathable wall that regulates indoor humidity, and has a high level of insulation.

03.01.2022 WA is falling behind in new housing energy star ratings. The minimum 6 stars is not enough to meet future reductions in green house gases in the building sector, and not enough to reduce ongoing energy needs and costs in the day to day running of the house. It's not that difficult...just comes down to good design and some improvements on glazing and insulation!

03.01.2022 Renewable energy technology can adapt and change!

02.01.2022 Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light. ~Le Corbusier
