House design

One of the most challenging tasks face by Vibe Design Group is encouraging council's
to embrace designs which capitalise on sustainability. Many properties are subject
to overlays which require the pattern of existing homes to be maintained. Most
existing neighbourhoods are of some age and are predominantly filled with homes with
little or no consideration to sustainability. It is inevitable the future will see
a change in the scale, orientation and overall design of properties which must be
embraced by the relative councils.

Sustainable Architecture and Home Design :



2007 has proven to be a particularly successful year for Vibe Design Group having
received accolade in both the Victorian and Queensland design awards. The Nautilus
project located in Beaumaris, Victoria, was heralded by the judges for its raw shape
and form which created the minimalist street façade. The new home was cleverly
zoned to accommodate both the family with young children and guests with optimum
energy efficiency and the utilisation of low maintenance building products.

The spectacular overhaul of the Chevron Island property on the Gold Coast,
Queensland caused much of a stir. Most amazing was that approximately 70% of the
existing solid structure was utilised in the new design. The residing judges
commented that the only factor identifying that is was in fact the same property was
the pencil pine tree featured in the front setback.

Although always pleased to be recognised in the awards for constructed works, Vibe
Design Group believes that many of their most exciting designs are either in design
or town planning stage, many on the Northern Coastline of NSW. Specialising in
coastal design, Vibe Design Group has opened its first regional office on the
Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.

Vibe Design Group has overseen the construction of two dwellings in Kew, Victoria
which are now in the final stages of completion. The designs are particularly
striking and utilise fantastic use of space on a reasonably tight site overlooking
the Yarra River. One of the dwellings features an awe inspiring five metre
cantilever to the upper storey.
