Designing Your Custom Home
With David McAuley, Architect, Building Biologist & Feng Shui Practitioner
We are hoping to offer this workshop in the Everdale in the City series in winter 2008/2009.
This is your dream and for most, a major life investment! Let's make it live on paper and reflect your lifestyle, property and budget. A full day of learning about the process, sketching imaginative, sustainable, efficient designs and working your ideas into conceptual sketches or a programme of needs you can use to communicate with other builders, professionals and municipalities. An emphasis on site-specific opportunities, healthy design, green home ergonomics and spatial planning. Bring along a survey plan, written needs and preferences. We’ll supply pencils and sketch paper.
