Trying to find home designs that strike a balance between innovation, functionality and affordability is not easy, particularly in the current climate of high-cost building.
To introduce you to the mondo living design principles, we've provided a range of articles outlining how we go about achieving efficient, affordable design, along with some ideas from experts in the field. As you can see, we take full advantage of site, climate, culture and style characteristics to produce not only enduring designs, but also the ideal Australian lifestyle environment.

Our design philosophy |
| |
A number of key principals make up the mondo living design philosophy. Below are some of the principles we adhere to.
The land is the house - use the available land in its entirety, from boundary to boundary, and make every part of the site add to the residents' lifestyle.
Beyond functionality - make the land and all its aspects available for the residents to experience and enjoy.
Make the most of the climate - ultilise all the aspects the climatic cycle has to offer and provide structures that allow residents to manipulate the environment to suit their lifestyle.
Reduce the carbon footprint - apply ecologically sustainable principals that incorporate climate control, rainwater harvesting and energy efficient design.
Zone the living environment - provide a zoned living environment that allows both privacy and interaction.
Provide security - provide appropriate transitions from communal street areas to private residence areas, while considering community safety and household security.
Beyond aesthetic - create a range of visual elements that reflect the unique time and place of the estate and incorporate an iconic quality that evokes significant emotional responses and associations.
Deliver an affordable product - deliver the product in a cost effective package that is both saleable and buildable, and uses readily available technology.
Evolutionary - continue to refine, develop, diversify and improve the product through interaction with the marketplace. |
