The Passive Solar Design service has been specifically designed to provide a complete architectural service for the design of energy efficient homes.  To ensure your satisfaction of the end result, the service is conducted in stages, giving you full control over the design, aesthetics and budget.

Our full architectural service consists of the following three stages:

• Concept Design
• Design Development
• Working Drawings

Ecotect-Architects have an enormous number of built examples over the last 35 years. Refer to www.garrybavesrtock.com for a more complete history of projects and newspaper cuttings up to 2000.

To achieve a high quality design that works for the client and delivers quality to the community a professional process needs to occur from site investigation, and comprehensive client interview to produce concept drawing, developed computer generated images and finally construction drawings, details and specifications.

It is a step-by-step process and short cuts are not recommended.
