going to reap the benefits- more and more every year- as energy
costs soar. Here's a list of some of the best Sustainable Design
Architects in Canberra.
What
Does An Architect Do?
This
US video will give you an idea of what an architect does for you.
Ric
is an architect, builder and environmental designer and principal
of Strine Design in Canberra. He is committed to raising the public
profile of vernacular Australian architecture and promoting environmentally
sustainable practice in both design and construction.
His
involvement in the formation of the Australian Building Energy Council,
the development of its Building Energy Code, his chairmanship of
the RAIA National Environment Committee and his membership of the
HIA Environment and Planning and Development Committees have given
Ric a national profile in environmentally sustainable and low energy
buildings.
This
wealth of sustainability knowledge allows Ric and his team to provide
clients with unique, practical and sustainable home designs through
Strine Design. Strine also has a building arm, Strine
Constructions.
Russell
is a sole practitioner architect, and for most of his career has
worked on residential projects in and around the ACT. Projects include
Greenfields, redevelopment, and alterations and additions.
He is committed to the principles of designing for our local climate
using natural energy systems for heating, cooling and incorporating
other sustainable technologies.
Having worked
in the construction industry, he has developed an understanding
of the cost implications of design decisions.
His
fundamental design approach is to develop a close relationship with
the client to develop design solutions that not only reflect his
professional experience, but also balances the site characteristics
with the client’s budget, accommodation wishes and preferred
aesthetics. Consequently, each project is unique resulting in a
body of work that includes a variety of architectural solutions
whilst still reflecting responsible sustainable design principles
