Arcologic Design is a multi-award winning design studio based in Perth, Western Australia. Our homes are designed to solar passive principles making your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer naturally and cost effectively. Arcologic Design also base our designs on our '10 Eco-logical Essentials' which we have developed and wriiten about in our recent book "Eco-Logical Living".

Our homes range from compact inner city sites to large and remote homesteads, in each case being designed to make the most of what the environment offers for free. Arcologic Design have also formed associations with some of WA's leading eco- builders, environmental consultants and energy assessors to offer a 'one stop shop' for your own sustainable home. Our expertise in sustainable design has achieved industry recognition with many of our homes being awarded accolades in the "sustainable houses" categories of various Award programmes.

If your'e planning on building a new home it makes sense to understand the principles behind what makes a home sustainable and solar passive. At the very least your home will have to achieve a 6 Star Energy Efficiency Rating under new legislation, but we would recommend taking it many steps further. A home will possibly be the biggest investment you ever make, so why not make it an investment that will grow in value, be comfortable to live in, and not place an undue impact on the environment. By incorporating sustainable principles into your home you will be future proofing your investment.
