1. Conceive with Flexibility

A house that can adapt to the changing needs of its occupants is one that remains functional and relevant for longer. This may include open living spaces that can be easily redefined as needed, or the ability to add or modify rooms without major renovations. Flexibility in design can prevent future costs associated with expansion or modification of the existing structure.

2. Simplify to Save

Simplifying architectural design does not mean compromising on aesthetics or functionality. On the contrary, it can often enhance both while reducing costs. Simple geometric shapes facilitate construction and decrease material requirements, resulting in substantial savings. Additionally, thoughtful use of space can create spacious and versatile interiors without increasing the total area, thus optimizing the value proposition.

3. Prioritize Energy Efficiency

In a province where the climate varies greatly, eco-energy design is crucial. Good insulation, strategic orientation of the house to maximize solar gain in winter and minimize overheating in summer, as well as the choice of efficient heating and cooling systems, can reduce long-term energy costs. Consider installing triple-glazed windows and using superior insulation materials for walls, roof, and floor.
