Nature's Friend
The client approached the designer to fulfill her brief of a functional family home that has minimal impact on the surrounding environment whilst utilising energy efficient design and modern appliances to recycle water and harness solar energy.
Karamfiles Builders completed the construction of this timber-framed, Colorbond clad house utilizing treated timber, insulation to under floor, walls, ceiling and roof, modern fixtures and fittings throughout and installed the latest solar power inverter and grey water recycling system.
This home was awarded the 'Colorbond Most Innovative Use of Steel Award' at the 2008 HIA-ANZ South West Housing Awards.
"The judges were impressed with the unique design and the use of Colorbond cladding of this project."
We live in an age when the environment has never been so prominent in our thoughts. Whether it is global warming or greenhouse gas emissions, people are looking for ways to be environmentally friendly in their lives. This extends to their dwellings.
Karamfiles Builders has recognised this demand in the market and has become the local builder for Eco Designer Homes.
"We are very pleased they have chosen us to build their designs and we look forward to providing an alternative for prospective homeowners" Sam Karamfiles said.
The design range at Eco Designer Homes is as diverse as the Australian landscape. You will find a home to withstand the extreme weather of the arid North West, a retreat that sits comfortably on the coastal sands to the vineyards and forests of the South West or an art-deco masterpiece to suit an inner-city dwelling.
These unique home designs incorporate energy efficiency and sustainable design principles saving you money while protecting the environment.
Eco Designer Homes favours the use of framed construction in its homes to enable quick delivery, high quality control standards with significantly less impact on the surrounds.
The company's award-winning designer Rob Skipworth believes each home can be adapted to take full advantage of its natural landscape and environment.
Eco Design Homes prides itself on delivering diverse homes to its clients. Nothing is considered standard.
A wide range of finishing materials is sourced to make each home exclusive, from metal to flush fibre cement, Colorbond and decorative cultured stones.
Eco Designer Home has chosen Karamfiles Buliders to reflect its company values and aims in dealing with both the clients and the project.
