Cooee Architecture

Connecting regional people with low-carbon homes, and fulfilling lives within them. Cooee works across the Victorian High Country, NSW Snowy Mountains and surrounds. Cooee is a uniquely regional Australian word. It originated from Aboriginal language(s), was adopted by European settlers, and is used widely today to call out to someone in a remote setting. I'm calling out to regional Australians to join me in working towards zero-carbon regional homes and building great lives within them. FULFILLING REGIONAL LIVES: I help you build a fulfilling regional life - whether that means living ethically, waking up inspired, or being better connected to country and community. If you’re a sustainably and ethically minded regional Australian, Cooee intends to offer something for everyone, from free resources to full services. 18 INTENTIONS: Good design is measurable. We start with 18 clear intentions, tweak them to suit your values and priorities, site and budget, and then review them at each project stage. My goal is to deliver a solution that is sustainable, intelligent, and simple. ZERO CARBON: Operational: Your project can run at net-zero energy by first reducing power needs through energy-efficient design and construction, and then self-generating power through renewable methods. Embodied: You can work towards a net-zero embodied carbon footprint by reducing materials, sourcing low-carbon and recycled materials, and then offsetting the remainder.
