At Healthy Spaces by Design, we work with you to create a healthy, naturally beautiful and harmonious home and/or workspace to be enjoyed for many years to come.
We draw on ancient and modern wisdom to create new opportunities for the design of inspiring and more healthier spaces in our home and/or working environments. These spaces are crafted from natural materials and low-toxic finishes that are healthier for you and have a reduced environmental impact.
The design of healthy, natural and truly sustainable spaces is emerging as a critical factor in one’s health and wellbeing and it’s one that we’re passionate about! As well, its important to have a good understanding of our relationship to our energetic environments in the design of any space and skills with modern feng shui are integrated into all designs.
As there is so much information about ‘sustainable’ and ‘eco’ design now available, its important to start with a good base for any project with the following:
- excellent site orientation + placement
- good passive heating + cooling principles
- enhance natural light and ventilation
- good water collection + re-use on site
- water efficient appliances + fittings
- waste water treatment + re-use on site (where possible)
- promote renewable and energy efficient equipment and materials
- natural, low-toxic and healthy building materials
- promote locally and responsibly sourced materials with a good life cycle analysis (LCA)
- low embodied energy design + potential to sequester carbon
- promote recycled & recyclable materials
- healthy indoor air quality (with no-low VOC emissions from materials and finishes)
- high thermal performance
- high acoustic performance
- connection to nature and the outdoors
- low electro-magnetic radiation with considered design toward reducing exposure to EMFs
- high durability and performance
- be affordable and a good long-term investment
- assistance to reducing waste on site with your builder
- have a calm and positive energy, beautiful and a pleasure to be in
We are also trained in natural design systems using hemp masonry (hempcrete), strawbale construction and natural lime + clay renders.
We love creating healthy, harmonious and naturally beautiful spaces and watching them become inspiring sanctuaries that promote healthier lifestyles. Healthy and sustainable spaces should be considered an investment, with lower running costs, better durability and performance and improved long-term health of occupants as key factors.
True health + wellbeing starts with you and your home – please contact us to discuss the specifics of your next project.
We offer our services to clients in Brisbane, Scenic Rim and the Gold Coast.
