Why Local Environmental Conditions Should Still Guide Architectural Design

Why Local Environmental Conditions Should Still Guide Architectural Design

Why Local Environmental Conditions Should Still Guide Architectural Design

Traditionally Architectural design is conditioned by local environmental conditions, available resources, culture and users' needs.

Simple, native, elegant, low maintenance.

This is a beautiful solution for a domestic garden, particularly for a front yard.

This rich combination of native small plants, shrubs, bushes, and ground cover will create a dense and resilient green patch. Compared to the more common lawn or western garden, it will require low maintenance, reducing the running costs and time needed to maintain it.

Thick mulch and gravel are covering the ground, maintaining moisture, reducing temperature variation and stopping weeds from taking over the open spaces.

It's also a great way to support native birds and insects, restoring a little of their habitat in a transformed urban area.

This is a great solution for a domestic garden for busy people who love a nicely presented front yard, but often don't have the time or don't want to spend the money to maintain it.

Think about how your front yard could look like replacing the high-maintenance lawn with a native garden.

Cheers!

Noise control 📢
Noise reduction 🚑

Enjoy a quiet time when you need it. 📖
Isolate yourself from the outside world when you are home. 🔕
Forget you have kids for a moment: they are playing downstairs and you can't hear them. 🎉
No more constant background noise. 😖

When you build or renew your home, office, playroom or mancave, remember to include adequate sound-control measures. 📴

Possible solutions:
- Remove all gaps and openings ✅
- Good windows and proper doors ✅
- Noise-absorbent materials (can be flooring, ceilings, feature walls or elements of decor) ✅
- Construction solutions within your walls, floors and roof. ✅

When you realise how quiet a room can be, you will never be able to go back to what used to be "normal background noise". 🥁

Try it: you'll love it! ❤️

Don’t do it!

Some places and houses look amazing, so beautiful, shining and inviting.
So you decide to visit, rent or buy.
You are looking forward to it: it’s something that you and your family have been waiting for a while now.

But it’s not all good as it looks.
It’s not that comfortable, welcoming or livable.
Things are missing, things are in the wrong place, and things break down easily.
It’s too hot, too cold, too noisy, too dark or too bright.
There is no privacy.

We “stayed” at this holiday cabin a while ago: beautiful and simple, surrounded by nature and with a breathtaking view.
We left before the first night, it was just unbearable.
A timber and black metal box parked in the Australian mid-season sun turned quickly into an oven that no cross ventilation or AC could fight.
The lack of any insulation made us so exposed to any temperature variation and noise that it was like camping in a very exposed area.

Before you build, renew or buy, please consider:
What you need and want
The quality (not just the quantity) of the construction
The environmental conditions surrounding the property
Your comfort and quality of life

Cheers!

Resilient systems: learning from nature.

We had a beautiful walk in the #royalnationalpark last weekend.

If you take your time, sit down and quietly observe a functional natural ecosystem at work, you realise that very little we need to invent or create to achieve beauty, efficiency or comfort, when all we have to do is learning from Mother Nature.

This forest took hundreds, if not thousands, of years to reach the ideal balance to thrive, and it's still constantly evolving to adapt to the changing climate's conditions.

Let's take inspiration from this beautiful and performing system.
Let's understand the value of every single component and the multitude of processes always in action.

This forest doesn't need our care to thrive: it lives in harmony with each of its components and the climate around it.

Let's design and create places based on the same principles.
Let's create houses and gardens that do not require our constant input to survive or operate.
Let's create places where we can live peacefully, in symbiosis with the beautiful natural world around us.

Concept Design for Semi-Detached Dwellings

This western-suburbs family is exploring the redevelopment possibilities for the single-dwelling home they own and live in.
In this specific case, 2 terraces can nicely fit in the existing lot: one for them to live in and one to rent out.
This is a sustainable approach:
- Increase urban density
- Upgrade to a more efficient and comfortable house
- Create an alternative source of income
- Build a next-door future house for the teenage kids
- Reuse existing materials, where possible
- Maximise solar access and natural cross-ventilation
- Maximise rainwater collection and use
- Integrated PV panels

Design notes:
- Respect traditional terraces' proportions and scale
- Fresh contemporary design
- Reuse locally sourced construction materials

What a great Start!

Good Morning!

Here is a quick sketch of new semi-detached dwellings (rear facade).

Key features:
- the ground level is suspended over the natural land for flood reasons. Also, building off the ground helps to manage moisture and termites, install continuous under-slab insulation, and easily access services, if required.
- Deep eaves over the glazed surfaces to control direct solar radiation, reduce glare, and protect from weather events.
- Terraces and landscape at all levels: adequate outdoor spaces increase levels of amenities and create a softer transition between your house and the landscape around it.
- Prominent ground level vs recessed first level: reduces the visual bulk of the building, while allowing all the required interior space.
- Natural construction materials, wherever possible: increase the quality of living and give a more relaxed and pleasant look.

Renovation and extension of a beautiful double brick house in North Sydney.

We took the bulk and shape of the original back portion of the house, and we turned it into a contemporary "garden house look" extension that opens to the new pool and native garden area.

The traditional front of the house, as well as what is visible from the street has been retained to maintain the original character of the house and the neighbourhood.

Preparing a draft planting plan with our friends at Sydney City Farm.

One morning per week, I volunteer here at Sydney Park. The farm, led by our great J, grows herbs, veggies, legumes, flowers, and fruits to help those in need in our community.
In return, we have fantastic outdoor time between the farm, the orchard, and the nursery. And we learn (a lot) about how to set, grow and take care of a beautiful garden.

Come and try, or look for your local community garden 😊

Cheers!

Ventilated facades and roof.

A simple but brilliant way to improve building thermal and acoustic performance.

How does it work?

Like a second skin that shades you from direct solar radiation, wind and noise.

Just underneath the external cladding and roofing surface, we leave a cavity where air can run through.
The external surface heats up when exposed to solar radiation. The thin layer of air around it (both sides) warms up, gets lighter and rises, sucking cooler air from below.
The building surface heat is constantly dissipated outward before it can penetrate the insulation layer underneath.

This second skin also helps protecting (in the same way) from warm and cold winds hitting the building envelope.
As well it helps to reduce the acoustic transmission (vibrations) coming from the outside.

How is it built?

Simply adding an additional layer of battens just between the external cladding/roofing and the insulation underneath. These gaps are then closed with grid/meshes top and bottom, to stop insects or rodents to penetrate into the cavity.

It's an ingenious, simple and cheap way to boost the building performance.

Keep it in mind for your next project!

Cheers!

Natural materials: building with strawbales

I first learned about strawbale building construction about 14 years ago: it was in a class of my Master’s studies in sustainable architecture I took back then. That same week they took us out to a city park in Turin (Italy) and we got dirty and sweaty assembling a small one-room building on a hot Italian summer day. And it has been a fantastic experience! We had a great time with colleagues, friends and volunteers prepping, piling and fixing strawbales together to build walls. Then render it all, before covering it with a simple timber framed, metal roof (cause you can never trust the weather). 🙂

Last weekend we finally did it again! “A bunch of hippies” (like myself :)) met with the “master hippie builders” from @vivahomes_unearthed & @green_e_building , Sam & Adrian, just outside Mudgee in NSW, to get dirty and understand, through theory and practice, how this type of natural buildings work and get built down under.
This was a great, rewarding and empowering experience: to see how anyone can build their own natural and healthy home, using mostly cost-efficient, local materials. And to see that there still are alternatives to an always more complex and expensive traditional construction industry.

If you want to try it out yourself, look for upcoming courses in your region (usually for a fee), or look for local strawbale construction workshops (usually volunteering work). Here you can gain the required knowledge and hands-on experience, working alongside like-minded and friendly people.

If you have a project in mind, if you are interested in a more sustainable, healthy and natural way to build and live, get in touch with us. We may be able to help, just send us a DM.

Gardens’ Opportunities

Permaculture principles are applicable to a variety of situations: understanding the potential of residual spaces and garden corners is one of these.
In an established apartment building, often the communal green areas might be reduced to flat lawns to mow or straightforward neglected, for various reasons.

We asked strata if we could take care of a little corner and show its potential.
This little project involved the residents, who gently donated some little plants to the effort and helped water the garden during the first few weeks.

The plants you see are a mix of natives and non-natives, mostly rescued in the street of leftovers from our latest move.
Basic gardening tools, gloves, a few bags of compost and mulch, and a small bag of native flower seeds were all we needed. In a few hours, we gave another chance to these plants and this sad planter box.

Prepare the soil, place the plants, compost and mulch, spread the flower seeds, and water.
Let nature decide what grows and where: the garden will find its balance, that fits the specific conditions of the site. Weeds are doing their part too 🙂.

Maintenance is now down to 2 hours every 2 months: mostly pruning and mulching.
Just let your garden be and evolve.
And don’t forget to place a compost pile in the corner: nothing should be wasted. It’s all part of a cycle.

Design for Efficiency, with Sensitivity and Purpose.

Sustainable Design means getting the most out of the smallest investment, wisely using the available resources, and working harmoniously within the specific context.
Efficiency means designing and building within a budget, meeting people’s needs and wishes, in a high-quality and comfortable environment.

Sensitivity means understanding the specific conditions of each site and designing to fit well within it. It means prioritising people’s experience and health, for the best quality of life.

The purpose is to create meaningful places, that harmoniously fit within existing environment and community, where our and future generations can peacefully live, work and play.
