Solar Dwellings Project 1

Solar Dwellings specialises in the design of modern, climate-sensitive and passive-solar smart homes. The company offers a range of services, from creating individually tailored designs to undertaking site assessments.

Solar Dwellings provides a variety of sustainable living solutions to its clients using a combination of universal-access, low-allergen and smart-home design principles. The company also offers water-wise solutions, including the installation of rainwater harvesting systems, aerobic sewerage and waterless urinals, as well as grey-water recycling systems. Non-chemical termite prevention and active solar design – such as photovoltaic power generation and solar water heating – can be easily incorporated into the design of your home.

Choosing a Solar Dwellings home will not only make a difference to the environment, but will reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint. You’ll save on heating and air-conditioning costs, while lowering your water usage. The company can also specify building materials with low embodied energy and low environmental impact, which gives you peace of mind that your home is eco-friendly in its construction and operation.
