Philosophy
Our team is passionate about the natural and built environment and aims to produce appropriate site sensitive solutions. The surrounding landscape is integrated as part of the architecture to unify external and internal spaces.
At SCA we aim to create passively designed buildings that provide healthy spaces for living while reducing the impact on the earth’s resources and ecosystems.
Construction materials and internal finishes are carefully selected to ensure there are minimal VOCS and other toxic substances. This type of specification also aids allergy sufferers and people with sensitivities.
The life cycle of the material, its source, production and ability to be recycled is also an important consideration.
We possess a sound knowledge of the most up to date alternative energy and water management systems available and enjoy integrating these elements into our designs.
Services
SCA recognises the uniqueness of each client and their individual needs to design spaces that are distinctive, practical, functional and light filled.
We believe that communication is the key to reaching the best design solution possible and we work to ensure that a comprehensive working relationship is maintained.
Our 3D models and walkthroughs help in the understanding of the space as well as testing passive design and assisting in all design decisions.
Partial or full services may be provided along with project management, for both small or large developments.
Feng Shui principles, electromagnetic smog and geopathic stress may be assessed, if required, during the design process.
Our team consists of registered architects, graduate and student architects and designers.
We work alongside other specialist consultants and builders to ensure the smooth running and successful completion of the project.
Projects have been completed in most of the northern and some of the eastern suburb areas of Sydney and subsequently we have a sound knowledge of each council’s building development requirements.
