There's more to planning a new home than choosing a floor plan.

Before construction, its important to understand the site, planning considerations, design goals, budget and the information needed to move forward.

These early conversations help identify opportunities, constraints and the decisions that need to be made.

Not every answer is available on day one, but a considered process helps everyone work from a clearer starting point.

At Homes by Nature, we value, the thinking that happens before the build 🌱

Thinking about building, but not sure where to start?

Your first enquiry doesn't need to come with all the answers. It's an opportunity to talk through your site, the kind of home you want to create, your budget and what matters most to you.

From there, we can help explain the likely next steps and what information may be needed before moving forward.

We believe a good building experience starts with clear communications and realistic expectations.

What are you paying for when you build for performance?

It's often not the things you notice first.

Performance starts with the decisions behind how a home feels and functions.

Orientation, insulation, glazing and efficient systems work together.

The result is a home that uses less energy and stays comfortable year round.

More house doesn't mean more value.

A well designed home starts with understanding how you want to live.

It's about creating the right amount of space, being deliberate about where the build budget goes and making decisions that support comfort and efficiency long after construction is complete.

More house isn't the answer. Good design is.

When governments invest in upgrading insulation across thousands of existing homes, it reinforces something we've believed for a long time.

Thermal comfort and energy efficiency should be built into every home from the beginning, not treated as optional sustainability upgrades.

In a new home, good performance begins well before construction.

Thoughtful orientation, high levels of insulation, quality glazing, effective shading, airtightness and considered material choices all work together to create a more comfortable, energy efficient home.

At Homes by Nature, energy efficiency assessments form part of the design and documentation process before construction begins, helping us make informed decisions that support long term comfort and performance.

At Homes by Nature, comfort and energy efficiency aren't afterthoughts. They're built into every home as standard, not left for future retrofitting 🌿

Behind the Build 🔨

A little snapshot of progress on site.

Window preparation, bathroom plywood installation, painting and external cladding have all been keeping the team busy as this home continues to take shape.

Different trades, different stages, all contributing to the bigger picture.

A few moments from behind the scenes at Homes by Nature🌿

Some feature walls are added at the end. This one was built into the home from the beginning 🌿

This exposed Hempcrete wall brings the material's natural texture and variation straight into the finished interior, but its value goes well beyond looks.

Hempcrete is vapour permeable, which means it can help moderate indoor humidity. It also contributes thermal and acoustic performance to the building envelope.

And when it's left exposed like this, there's no need to disguise what the home is actually made from.

For us, that's a pretty good example of thoughtful material selection, performance doing some of the decorating.

7 stars is the minimum. So why build beyond it?

A star rating gives us a benchmark. It isn't the end goal.

For us, performance is about how a home actually feels to live in, comfortable through the seasons, less reliant on heating and cooling and designed to respond to its site and environment.

The decisions that make that possible, start well before construction.

Meeting the standard is one thing. Designing for performance is another.

Meet the Luxton🌿

A considered floor plan designed around natural light, practical living and spaces that feel good to be in.

But a floor plan is only the beginning.

Materials, colours, finishes and the individual choices made along the way are what turn a design into your home and sometimes, the finished result can look completely different from where it started.

That’s one of the things we love about the Luxton. It provides a thoughtful foundation, with plenty of opportunity to make it unmistakably yours.

Proud to support creativity with a shared connection to sustainability 🌿🎨

Homes by Nature is once again proud to sponsor the Sustainability Art Award at this year’s Margaret River Independent School Art Auction.

The $1,000 award celebrates work exploring our connection with the natural world, something that naturally resonates with the way we think about design, building and the environments we create.

We’ve loved supporting this community event over the years and look forward to another brilliant night celebrating the creativity of our local artists.
