Our Projects

Our Projects

Our projects at Shelter Building Design range from small granny flats to alterations of exiting buildings, to complete 4 bedroom passive houses (passivhaus). Our project focus is always on sustainability. From walls to windows and doors, to energy consumption and much more…

Spending a little more time planning and perhaps increasing the budget a little will provide for savings for decades to come. And your house will be of architectural significance due to its sustainability credentials.
