aCure holistic environments + architecture

Melbourne Sustainable Architecture, Building, Design and Construction

The response is to harness essential natural resources and use them well. To produce simple designs that work in accordance with our personal desires.
A commitment to making architecture an accessible and invaluable resource.

affordable sustainable housing
Designs that are flexible and suit a variety of block types, and orientations. The designs are easily modifiable to work from a thermal and energy efficiency perspective. The aim is to produce a high performance home with small footprint and price tag.

aged care housing and community development
Research undertaken in multiple dwellings and residential communities have concentrated on the development of housing models and integration of sustainable design principles.
Designs that respond to financial requirements and provide researched solutions for the life of the project.
Simple, well-designed spaces that reduce building area and optimises flexibility – reducing building cost, service requirements, material use and labour to ensure the design is built to budget.
We promote the courtyard designs that provide increased external wall area for climatic interchange (solar winter heating and passive summer cooling) and foster an indoor-outdoor relationship.
