There’s nothing like stepping into a warm house in the winter months. Fortunately, you can incorporate many design elements when you are building your home to ensure it feels cosy when the cold weather strikes. Use a combination of the following ideas to optimise a feeling of warmth.

As our parents age, there is always the concern of where they will live out their later years. Whilst retirement homes are a possibility, the cost may be a mitigating factor. There also may not be one within a reasonable distance of your residence. Modular homes are an excellent alternative to keeping your loved ones nearby.

No matter how small your space to build, Swanbuild Homes can help you out. Our space saving designs mean you can capitalise on small living and still indulge in the big features you can’t live without. If you utilise more than one of these features, your home can have all the feels of large home living, with a fraction of the cleaning and maintenance.

When Swanbuild creates homes we try to do it in the most environmentally friendly way possible. That means designing with things like passive cooling in mind. What is passive cooling? It means building a house in such a way that keeps it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Consequently, you don’t need to turn on your air conditioners and heaters as much, saving energy as well as money. It is smart building.

You can truly gauge the effectiveness of your design plan when you are hosting a celebration or have everyone home for the holidays. A well-designed house can be the difference between peace or calamity at Christmas dinner and zen or zany parents over the school break. Luckily, Swanbuild’s clever plans will not disappoint, nor have everyone underfoot.
