Teresa Serrao Architects

Teresa Serrao Architects is a full service architecture practice that specialises in residential architecture, building and interior design. Housing is the most basic necessity in life, and possibly the most expensive item we will ever have to purchase. Improved planning and housing layout can provide the occupants with a greater quality of life when the focus is on a healthy lifestyle and environmentally sustainable principles. It is with this idea in mind Teresa Serrao Architects was created. It is a full service architecture practice that specialises in residential architecture and interior design. Our desire is to create energy efficient buildings that are low energy use, low waste and ecologically sustainable. This is achieved through the building materials we select and the natural systems of sun control and cross ventilation we design into our buildings. We offer the full range of architectural services, from feasibility study, to concept design, council documentation, construction and tender drawings and contract administration. We strive to deliver a service that is specific to your needs, and supplied to the very best of our ability. A comprehensive use of computer technology and graphic software allows us to explore a range of options that are easy for you to understand and work with. Our sustainable approach and dedication to quality are translated into an investment you will be proud of. Our design philosophy is: Designing buildings with your specific needs in mind. We believe that our job is to make your ideal building tailored to your needs but with our high standard of building design as a benchmark. Minimise building size. We believe that making efficient use of the existing space should always come first before deciding to extend a building. Using passive solar design principles. This is the best way to ensure a comfortable internal environment and a low energy building. To start the process we offer a fixed fee initial consultation where we provide up to one hour on site to discuss the opportunities and limitations of the site, budget and potential of the project.
