CASE STUDY FOR A SUSTAINABLE NEW BUILD HOME
INTRODUCTION
MCE Architectural Services is a practice known for its innovative designs and sustainable practices. The firm was commissioned by a client to design and construct their forever home. This case study delves into the process of designing and building the residence from inception to completion, highlighting the challenges faced, solutions implemented, and the ultimate success achieved.
CLIENT BRIEF
The client, a family of three, approached MCE Architectural Services with a vision of their dream home. They desired a modern yet timeless design that seamlessly integrated with the surrounding landscape. Sustainability was a priority, along with functionality, aesthetic appeal, and comfort.
DESIGN PHASE
We initiated the project by conducting thorough site analysis and client consultations to understand their needs and preferences. The design team incorporated passive solar design principles to maximise natural light and energy efficiency. They also integrated sustainable materials and green building techniques to minimise the environmental footprint of the home. After several iterations and feedback sessions with the client, a final design was approved.
CHALLENGES FACED
One of the major challenges was obtaining permits and approvals from local authorities due to regulations and environmental concerns. We navigated this challenge by collaborating closely with regulatory bodies, addressing their concerns, and making necessary adjustments to the design without compromising the client's vision. The architectural team had to adapt quickly.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
With the design finalised and permits obtained, construction commenced under the supervision of MCE. The client employed local contractors known for their craftsmanship and attention to detail. Regular site visits and meetings were conducted to monitor progress, address any issues that arose, and ensure compliance with the design specifications.
Throughout the construction phase, we maintained open communication channels with the client.
COMPLETION
Despite the challenges encountered, the collaborative efforts between MCE, the client, and the construction team culminated in the successful completion of the dream home. The residence exceeded the client's expectations, blending cutting-edge design with sustainable features to create a comfortable and environmentally conscious living space. The dream home stands as a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation, and sustainable practices in modern architecture.
"In seeking architectural services through Bark, Emma from MCE came back to us very quickly and arranged a scoping meeting at a time convenient to us. Now, some weeks later, she has just submitted planning with floor plans and elevations which have been through 7 iterations. As part of that process, she lent both significant technical skill and lots of creativity to fill the wide gaps in how we tried to articulate our new home vision. As clients, this was a significant help; Emma has also formed an excellent professional relationship with our builder which will help smooth the project when it enters the build phase and is co-ordinating on our behalf with SAP calc engineering and structural design specialists. Emma is friendly, flexible, really tries to understand her clients and offers a quick turnaround on queries / drawing development. We are delighted to have chosen her, have confidence in her work and would recommend her to others without hesitation; in fact, we have already done so as my son is working with Emma on his own build project."
