MDC Architects

There are a lot of ways you can make your design and building budget go further.

> Stick to simple and rational shapes and forms

> Reduce the number of materials (and consequently, the trades required on-site)

> Make decisions early, and clearly document them.

When designs are complicated, and decisions are delayed, home budgets get stretched.

Clear, practical planning in the design stage saves time, labour and materials later on.

And our New House Plans are designed to reduce these budget blow-out risks from day one.

To simplify and streamline your budget and build, visit our website for details.

At 'Lake House', we used materials like recycled brick, face brick, polished concrete and Donnybrook stone, which all help to regulate internal temperatures naturally.

Each material is celebrated for its honesty and performance, creating spaces that are comfortable, considered and enduring for years to come.

Windows influence how a house feels and performs from season to season.

North-facing windows bring winter sun deep into living spaces. Strategic placement elsewhere encourages cross ventilation and reduces reliance on air-conditioning.

Thoughtful shading and carefully proportioned openings keep interiors bright without overheating in summer.
These design choices balance comfort, efficiency and liveability, all principles that are embedded in our New House Plans.
