Here at Integrated Biotecture design we offer a broad spectrum of design and consultation services, with a focus on sustainable residential housing and supporting structures. We enjoy working with our clients to achieve the desired results in a stress free and enjoyable collaboration. Here are some of our specific services but we always welcome any new challenges with an open mind.
New builds
A new building is an exciting opportunity to start fresh and customize your design to be the ultimate fit for you in the environment you have chosen to build. We enjoy working with our clients on large, medium, small-scale residential projects and anything in between. We aim to take the potential stress of such a large undertaking away by following our design process to develop a beautiful and environmentally conscious home that is both creative and functional.
Renovation
Renovating what already exists can provide some exciting opportunities to incorporate the existing charm and endearing characteristic into a more personalized and fitting home for our clients. The adaptation and re-creation process can often result in unforeseen and rewarding outcomes. Furthermore, we believe it is often more environmentally responsible to improve what already exists or use repurposed materials and components as much as possible.
Consultation
If you are planning on designing, renovating, or building a new house we can customise a consultation service that best suits your needs. Complementing our design practice, we have a broad understanding of construction, specialising in natural building methods and working with owner builders. We would be happy to discuss options and tailor our service through the design and construction phases to best achieve your desired outcome.
If you’re a fellow design professional and have a project, or client, that is interested in including natural building in their project, we are happy to collaborate or provide consultation to the project team. Whether that be in the design, documentation or construction phases, we can bring over 15 years of experience to the project.
Training
We enjoy a hands-on approach running workshops or more personalized project orientated training for professionals, owner builders or the DIY enthusiast. We have over 15 years of experience in natural building techniques from thermal mass materials such as rammed earth, earth bricks and cob, to insulative materials such as hempcrete, straw bale and light straw clay. We would also like to emphasis the importance of good planning, design and detailing to ensure a lasting positive impact.
