“At Shaun Lockyer Architects we believe that one of the most responsible things we can do for the climate, in our work, is to create homes that will endure. A home that will be lived in, and cared for, for generations ensures that the embodied energy that it takes to produce is not unnecessarily discarded or replaced ahead of its time. This philosophy requires an energy assessor that understands the important synergy of passive and active controls to provide our clients with flexible living modes for subtropical environments, which SeedHaus™ certainly does. We have found working with SeedHaus™ to be remarkably easy and cooperative. He has a pragmatic approach to energy efficient and climate responsive residential building challenges and we look forward to our working relationship to continue well into the future.”
