25.01.2022 Condensation is a big issue for new homes in Tasmania. However, it doesnt have to be! A training session was held during the week for Designers to attend and discuss ways we can avoid this problem. Unfortunately only about 5 or 6 of us showed up... make sure your Designer is up to speed with the latest industry standard! #buildingdesign #homedesign #housedesign #tasmanianbusiness #Launceston #australianarchitecture #architecture #archdaily

25.01.2022 We are a TasFire accredited Bushfire Hazard Practitioner so get in contact if you need a report for your Building project! The report and associated management plan are required as part of the documentation for building approval. Most new homes, additions and some sheds will require an assessment and its best to get this organised early in the design process More than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding bushfire building requirements Ill post some more info about the bushfire attack levels (BAL) soon, for anyone that might be interested...

24.01.2022 Free design consultation for anyone looking to build around the Launceston area. Contact now for Design & Documentation thats faster, less complicated and more affordable. #launceston #launcestontasmania #architecturetasmania #buildingdesign #tasmanianbusiness

22.01.2022 Our recently completed Amali Court project. Difficult site constraints and a challenging design brief provided a good opportunity to showcase our versatility. Our clients are very pleased with the end result and we couldnt be happier for them! ~ : @natashamulhallphotography @ West Launceston

20.01.2022 Our Squeaking Point project coming along nicely. Check out the slab overhang. @jameshardieau RAB board going on soon and concrete decks to be poured this week. Stay tuned @ Squeaking Point

20.01.2022 Heres a quick time lapse video of me modelling a new home using Autodesk Revit software ~ This model is based on a design from the book Your Home - Australias guide to environmentally sustainable homes. Its a comprehensive guide with over 500 pages that takes you through every stage of the building process. A significant resource for anyone planning a new home! Available to purchase from yourhome.gov.au ~ #autodesk #autodeskrevit #revit #BIM #CAD #design #exterior #building #buildingdesign #architect #designer #instagood #archdaily #ecodesign #ecofriendly #architecture #smallbusiness #localbusiness

19.01.2022 NEW WEBSITE! Much like the business itself, it keeps things pretty simple... check it out if you get the chance and learn a bit more about who we are and what we offer granddesignstas.com

19.01.2022 Heres a good graphic that helps explain the different levels of bushfire attack as determined in a Bushfire Hazard Report! ~ The number or rating (12.5, 19 etc) given in the assessment is a reflection of how much radiant heat the Building could be exposed to in the event of a Bushfire and this determines the construction requirements ~ The construction requirements for most ratings are designed to deal with ember attack, not direct contact with the fire itself!... ~ This is appropriate as the vast majority of homes lost in Bushfires are the resulting effects of windbourne debris. Sometimes several kms from the actual fire front! There seems to be a lot of false and misleading information spread regarding building for bushfire requirements so always talk to an expert!

18.01.2022 Honoured to be chosen as the Designer for this water reservoir conversion. Going to be a lot of fun working with my clients as we turn this old concrete tank into an amazing new home! ... #homedesign #housedesign #homebuilder #ownerbuilder #theownerbuilder #tasmania #design #concrete #exterior #exteriordesign #instagood #architecture #art #style #inspiration #archdaily #building #buildingdesign See more

17.01.2022 Recent concept design for a new dwelling in Launceston

15.01.2022 Progress at Bracknell. The owners have been doing a good job completing most of the work themselves. ~ #buildingdesign #homebuilder #theownerbuilder #housedesign #homedesign #exterior

14.01.2022 What are eaves for? I think this image from a recent project helps to demonstrate the practical value of eaves when used correctly... ~ These 3D views have been modelled showing shadows, one in the middle of summer at the hottest part of the day and also in the middle of winter at the same time. ~ During Summer the windows are shaded and this helps keep the intense sunlight out. While in Winter the sunlight is flooding in, helping heat the home.... ~ So eaves v no-eaves is more than just an aesthetic preference. Window placement in an eave-less design becomes critical.

13.01.2022 New concept design from this week. Coming together nicely. @ Tasmania

11.01.2022 Interesting frame inspection from the other day. Not your typical frame thats for sure. Old school builder with some interesting ideas... mortise and tenon joint studs to plate for example. Not one of my projects but always enjoyable browsing and having a chat with builders. Beautiful part of the state too! ~ #buildingdesign #timberframe #carpentry #carpenter #builder #home #homedesign #tasmania @ Meander Falls

11.01.2022 Squeaking point concept design coming together nicely

07.01.2022 Building an energy efficient new home is easier and cheaper than you probably think. You just need a Designer that knows what theyre doing! Finding affordable land nowadays seems to be the biggest hurdle...

06.01.2022 One of our specialities at GDT is custom designed #timber frame sheds! Our custom sheds come complete with full engineering drawings and are designed to meet the criteria for low risk building work, meaning they can be built without needing a building permit. Our standard fee for such a shed design is only $1500! ... #design #exterior #exteriordesign #instagood #architecture #art #style #inspiration #archdaily #building #buildingdesign See more

05.01.2022 Its been a busy but productive week! Heres a little project weve been working on. Next week we have a site visit planned for one of our new builds so stay tuned for some progress pics... Have a great weekend

03.01.2022 Another day, another new DA ~ #buildingdesign #building #design #architecture #exterior #exteriordesign #homedesign #housedesign

01.01.2022 This is a recent project I did to demonstrate how easily an energy efficient, high performing home can be built on a very modest budget. ~ This design doesnt incorporate any fancy external energy saving features, just clever design and simple construction, to achieve a minimum 8.5 star NatHERS test result for a Tasmanian climate zone. (Current standard is 6 star) ~ This home would use approx. 1/10th the energy usage of the average Australian home. Granted it is only a small... 2 bed floor plan but the same principles could be used for larger homes too. ~ #buildingdesign #building #design #architecture #exterior #exteriordesign #home #homedesign #australianarchitecture #theownerbuilder See more
