Our Services
Architectural Design
Sustainable & Thoughtful
Fiona Winzar Architects offers a full architectural service from concept to move-in — across new homes, heritage homes, renovations, small second dwellings and workplaces. Each project begins with a careful understanding of the client, site and existing fabric, shaping responses that are thoughtful, practical and enduring.
Sustainability is integral throughout — with close attention to orientation, materials, energy efficiency and long-term performance.
Consultation
Holistic Design Approach
Initial consultations provide an opportunity to discuss your ideas, the site and the potential of the project. The process focuses on understanding your priorities and maximising opportunities by exploring design possibilities. This ensures a clear direction for the architecture and interiors from the earliest stages.
Sustainability and
Energy Efficiency
Climate Change and The Cost of Living
We are committed to sustainable design — for the planet and your hip pocket.
Going all-electric is the single most impactful change. Minimising air leakage and upgrading insulation deliver immediate comfort and savings. With more investment, double glazing, solar and battery storage reduce energy dependence further. The gold standard is Passive House certification with heat recovery ventilation. Rainwater storage, rain gardens and biophilic design complete a whole-of-site approach.
We bring this thinking to every project — new homes and the sensitive transformation of existing and heritage buildings alike.
