This is Episode 7 of Season 1.  

In this episode, Amelia shares some of the other assets you have available that can add great value to your home. At no cost to you. It's simply about knowing what they are, and choosing them first in your design. 

So much of designing for new homes or renovation is about unlocking what is possible. About understanding the potential for your home and land, and enhancing it. About realising the potential of the natural assets and enhancing what's already freely available. Bringing these natural assets to the fore so they can make your home and your land really enjoyable. Which in turn, enhances the quality of your everyday life. 

So what are these natural assets for your home and land? And how can you maximise them as an asset, or minimise them if they're a drawback? 

These natural assets exist in all locations … from the most rural to the most urban. And they can be optimised to enhance the quality of your home. They are: 
Sunlight 
Shade 
Breezes 
Landscape 
Views 
Privacy 

These are all things that can and do exist naturally in a home and site. And not all designs make the most of them or do them well.  

Amelia will take you through these one by one, and show you how to get it right for your home.  

Listen to the podcast now to learn how to get this right and add value to your design for free. Unlock the potential of what is already available to you, your site and your home.

The assets that add design value for free - Episode 7 (Season 1)

Hello! This is Episode 344, and in it, I’m celebrating the 8th birthday of the Undercover Architect podcast.

I can’t quite believe it’s been 8 years that I’ve been doing this. And given it’s been a while since I’ve done a solo episode, I thought I would take this episode to share some updates with you about home design, building and renovating, what we’re seeing in Undercover Architect, and life in general.

[For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/344]

And, in September we marked the 10th birthday of Undercover Architect itself. Combine that with it being December at the time of recording this, and coming up to the end of the year, it’s a great time to review, reflect, celebrate and plan.

There’s three things in particular I want to chat about in this episode.

The first is about HOW we live, and some conversations and research I’ve been doing lately, that I’m keen to understand if you’d like to hear more about.

The second is about the industry itself, and where I believe the opportunity lies for the biggest improvement - and again, I’m keen to hear if you’d like me to share more about this.

The third is a story I received from a homeowner about their project … and how $450,000 in predicted project costs became $2.4 million. 

It may sound a bit rambly, as this is a mental download of a lot of what I’ve been thinking about and discussing with others lately. 

I’ve tried to put some structure in it … but my thoughts are not necessarily happening in a structured way! But rather than holding back, or waiting to perfect and polish it, I’m going to share it with you warts and all.

So, stay tuned, as I dive into all of this.

8 Years of Helping You Get it Right: Latest Thoughts

Hello! This is Episode 343, and I’m back with Cindy, HOME Method member, designer and Thermal Performance Assessor, giving us an update on her new build.

We’re talking about her Smart Home System design, selection and specification, as she shares the details of including this in her new build project.

And we also discuss how she’s worked with her build team to ensure the sustainable details - even those they may have never done before - are being correctly included and built in her home.

[For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/343]

If you haven’t had the chance to hear the first part of this conversation, you can head back to Episode 342, and hear Cindy share details of how she’s navigated having the timber frame of her home exposed to the elements and wet weather for longer than anticipated. And what that meant for mould growth and remediating the frame before the project could continue. 

This can be a big problem for many projects given we build outdoors and can experience wet weather conditions over long periods of time. You don’t want your project to continue and a timber frame to be lined internally and externally if it’s damp or has any mould growth on it, as it’ll cause long term issues for your health and the home’s durability as well.

You can find that episode and its transcript by heading to >>> www.undercoverarchitect.com/342.

In this episode, I pick up the conversation where we left off Part 1, and my question to Cindy about how she’s worked with her team on site to manage their newness to some of her requirements, specifications and sustainable home goals.

We also have a great discussion about the Smart Home System that Cindy decided to include in her project, including how she chose the system she’s specified, the team members she worked with to coordinate the design, and the various considerations that led her to make the selection she did.

And lastly, Cindy will share a fantastic piece of advice for anyone who is navigating their renovation or new build journey to help you maintain your sanity and stress levels, so stay tuned to the end of the episode for those insights.

Choosing Smart Home Systems for a New Build, with Cindy

Hello! This is Episode 342, and in it, I’m talking with HOME Method member, Cindy.

Cindy is a HOME Method member, and she’s also a designer and Thermal Performance Assessor, who has designed her own new home which is currently under construction.

[For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/342]

Cindy was on the podcast about 5 months ago in Episodes 321 and 322, giving us her first update on her project, and sharing her design phase and early construction experience.

She’s back to talk about some of the challenges that weather has brought for the construction process: in particular dealing with a wet timber frame that has grown mould, and needs to be remediated before the project continues.

We’ve had a few members inside HOME Method navigating this challenge this year, as the weather has been wet for long periods of time in many parts of Australia, and that can wreak havoc on an exposed timber frame of a home during construction.

Timber can absorb moisture and water, and then over time, with the right conditions, grow mould which impregnates in the timber itself.

The worst thing that can happen is that the frame is not allowed to dry out, or the mould is not remediated, and the home gets lined internally and externally regardless of its dampness or condition. 

This can be incredibly detrimental for the health of the occupants and the durability of the home long-term. And, unfortunately, it happens far too often in home construction.

So, I think you’ll find Cindy’s process of navigating this specific challenge on her project super informative.

Remember, if you’d like to grab a full transcript of this episode, plus links to Cindy’s previous project updates on the podcast, as well as information on the resources we discuss and photos of Cindy’s home, you can find all of that by heading to www.undercoverarchitect.com/342.
