We're renowned for building sustainable and affordable green architect designed homes to reduce energy costs within the wide-ranging Canberra climate. Led by awarded architect Ric Butt, Strine has made success designing and building many passive solar homes through promoting the architecture of green Canberra living.
Strine Environments offers a traditional architectural service as well as partial service depending on the complexity of client requirements, the structure, site, budget and overall size of the project. We do not charge on a percentage basis establishing a written fee proposal based on the tasks and time involved.
We offer tender services as well as building services. We design and build according to our principles of excellence in design, sustainability and buildability. We build our own unique Thermal Panels and use these to construct our buildings. Thermal Panel buildings offer unbeatable thermal mass, almost zero maintenance and using these help avoid the need for cooling and almost any heating.

At Strine Environments, we are unrivalled in our ability to provide leading edge passive solar design that eliminates the need for cooling and virtually eliminates the need for heating in a building. Orientation - each site has its own particular requirements and seasonal variations. Our buildings have the best orientation to achieve the optimum performance in summer and winter.
Even as a child Ric Butt had an inquiring mind, a driving curiosity to understand how things worked. Coupled with his passion for Australia's environment, it is no surprise he established Australia's first firm dedicated to environmental design, and that he took the innovative step of improving environmental architecture to suit Australia's extreme climates, and in particular, that of the Canberra region.
From the initial contact through design, production and construction, to landscaping and interiors, we offer a holistic design for the site, and do everything in-house. What does this mean for you? It means the people you meet and brief at the start of the project, are the ones who will manage the entire process for you.
A 3 bedroom Millennium adjusted to suit the restrictive parameters of the small suburban site necessary to achieve maximum northern orientation for greatest thermal performance. The retired couple wished to substantially reduce their heating and lighting bills and have ample sunny open plan living space for visiting children and grandchildren.
Stefanie Pidcock and her husband were looking for a house to buy in Canberra but were unimpressed with what they had seen. Stefanie said she had been 'particularly struck by how poorly traditional Canberra houses are designed for the climate. They are really hot in summer and really cold in winter and leak like sieves when you try to heat or cool them.'
