The Settlers Estuary Village Falcon Project was undertaken as a joint venture with architectural firm CCN in 2005 and 2006. The principal role of Ecotect-Architects was to provide solar design advice and drawings at the sub-division level and to review the schematic design of the houses and community building for the developments. The client was the Settlers Group which is a prominent over 55s' residential village developer in the Mandurah area.

A scheme was produced and it represented a change in direction for the developers because it introduced environmental design for the first time. Most of the design work was produced on behalf of the joint venture with CCN CEO Greg Salter who guided the process and dealt with contractual issues.

The 200 block subdivision was master planned as a high-rated passive solar solution. This encompassed the houses facing north and collecting cooling breezes in summer. Optimised glass areas, shading insulation and thermal mass were all features of this schematic design for the development.
