Leaders in High Performance Design
AD Architecture’s unique approach takes into account the client’s style, budget, existing environment and desired function, to create high performing homes that are not only highly functional, but durable, energy efficient, healthy, and beautiful.
-
Style is a vital component as it sets the design direction and overall aesthetic. AD Architecture balances the client’s chosen style against risk and budget, suggesting alternatives and enhancements that will improve the overall outcome and appeal of the home.
-
The budget allows informed choices to be made about how big the house will be, and the level of complexity and performance. AD Architecture believes great design can compensate for modest budgets, and high performance homes can be achieved economically.
-
The environment is an important factor, as the home must suit the site and perform as desired. AD Architecture integrates the site topography, location, surrounding properties and weather into the client’s brief, to simultaneously achieve a harmonious design and high performing home.
-
Function refers to the overall livability of the home. AD Architecture considers the spaces’ access, suitability, flexibility, energy efficiency, use of solar, and air quality to ensure the home is not only practical, but efficient and enjoyable to live in.
