Check out our blog for articles on home design, rebuilding and renovation

We have experience between different scales, and have interest with the smallest of renovations that can transform spaces and uses at modest cost.

We are interested in all forms of innovative, affordable and sustainable housing.

We started home design edge as a resource to homeowners and homebuilders, focusing on project homes.  We feel like there are so many opportunities to improve their liveability and functionality, taking into account site analysis, solar access, ventilation, views, privacy, street appeal, internal flow and so much more.

If you would like help progressing your home build we are offering a plan reviews service for a limited time.
