Based in Coffs Harbour on the NSW Mid North Coast, Andrew Ferguson Architect creates buildings which are a unique reflection of the individuals who dwell there, dwellings that are tailored specifically to their needs. Architecturally designed houses which exist in harmony with the natural world, which take only what is required and use only minimal amounts of energy.
Places of natural light and thermal comfort throughout the year, which make the most of the unique places that they inhabit. Successfully minimising energy and water use in a building requires an architect with extensive design experience, practical knowledge and attention to detail from beginning to end.
The basic principles of passive solar design are easily understood; the successful architectural application of them to achieve optimal results balanced with cost, aesthetics, quality and other requirements is much more complicated. Getting the architectural design right at the beginning makes all the difference.
