Healthy House Design

You think of your home as a safe haven but is it?

Not all homes and buildings are healthy.

Traditional finishes in homes and buildings can emit potentially toxic gases. These come from paints, varnishes and kitchen laminates. We advise on materials and finishes that lessen or eliminate this risk.

Carpets harbour mites and dust that trigger asthma in some people. We advise on floor finishes that reduce this risk.

Ventilation in a home or building is an

important contributor to occupant health. Our designs make use of passive ventilation to:

maintain a comfortable temperature
freshen the air
remove smells and pathogens

This is done by careful window, door and room placement.
