Aside from improved health, air quality, acoustics and comfort, sustainable homes can be achieved economically. It is this control of the variation that eliminates the potential for mould and condensation to develop in the first place, while still allowing indoor outdoor living, as we have become accustomed to (albeit when our outdoor air quality is good). In a nutshell, the indoor environment is controlled to specifically achieve a narrow window of comfortable temperatures, humidity levels and heat flow. It is a tested and verified certificate system that has been developed in Germany. Passive House is different, it is a complete solution that brings together a number of principles to efficiently and cost effectively improve our building envelopes. We already create environmentally responsive houses that harness natural sources of heating and ventilation but we need to be active users of those passively designed homes, and the internal environment is somewhat beholden to the extremes of our climate. Having completed the Passive House Designer Course over the past few weeks I have learnt that there is a better way to build. Amanda cares about the end result, is a masterful designer and we are very grateful to have had her on our team! Read More During the build Amanda made herself available to assist with any enquiries and was very generous with her time. She assisted with the building tender process, and helped us visualise the eventual design with phenomenal 3D renders. Amanda kept us informed on a near real-time basis throughout the design process via Slack, with dedicated channels for different aspects of the project. Prior to engaging Amanda she built us a cardboard model of her proposed design, carried out previous DA searches on the property to identify information that could assist in the development application process and provided transparent information on pricing. For instance, Amanda was able to immediately rule out a complying development approach based on eyeballing the width of our block, possible through her deep knowledge of council and planning regulations. The first time we met Amanda she immediately picked up on site specific challenges and opportunities that other architects missed.

She understands how to optimise for space, is masterful at maximising natural light and goes above and beyond throughout the entire design process. We interviewed several architects for our renovation and Amanda was the clear stand out.
