ARCHITECTURE:

Housing from single dwellings to estates, from high rise apartments to retrofits. It is now recognised that smart, integrated ecological design is the intelligent and most sensible economic decision in accounting capital, social, environmental operation and maintenance costs.

Commercial development that inspires the user and visitor can be inexpensive to operate and maintain if designed with principled ecological wisdom.

Industrial design expects greater efficiency that returns dividend in energy, function form and aesthetic.

Public architecture becomes vibrant through solutions utilising ecological patterns.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE:

Every aspect of this field sees the value of ecological wisdom as the key principle of design. Landscapes of all scales can add considerable value to projects. With smart ecological design these advantages can be increased considerably. Not only aesthetically but economically, ecologically and socially.

ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING:

A responsive ecological solution for every project is now a reality. . From stormwater, waste water through solid waste to transportation and civil works. From residential gardens through townscapes, to watershed catchments and wildlife corridors. The ecologically sustainable solutions prove considerable cost savings with far greater efficiency and longevity.

ECOLOGICAL PLANNING:

Receives many benefits through commitment to fully complimenting the inherent ecologies from the micro through to the macro. Neighbourhoods, communities, villages, cities, districts, regions will benefit considerably through design through ecological principles. This will apply to all the services and utilities of communities at every scale.

THE SOLUTIONS of all designs will offer considerable benefits when projects are driven through ecology architecture.

ECOLOGY ARCHITECTURE is the integration of all the design disciplines through the principles of ecology....which is the connections of life. Design in this manner will prove considerable benefits. The major benefit will be economic.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE:

ARCHITECTURE: THE ECOLOGY OF OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT. Buildings to every scale deserve greater efficiency. Forms that are exciting are now in need to perform to higher levels for their owners, inhabitants, users, visitors and the community they are part of. Through smart ecological design this can be achieved with considerable success. The integrated design from Hart Associate will realise widescale benefits. These benefits will be shown in capital cost as well as on going costs but especially environmental costs. Solutions can now be created to develop an economic gain through good design. Design of this type will also reduce the infrastructure and energy needs from regional networks.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE: THE ECOLOGY OF OUR LANDSCAPES. From the courtyard to the estate gardens, from the street boulevards to the green corridors, from the village common to the regional watershed the principles of ecological wisdom offer richness when created through Ecology Architecture. Gardens of every scale can be vibrant productive paradises. Water can be enriched. Production will increase, while inputs reduce outputs grow. Birds will sing and children will play. Our buildings integrated with our gardens will develop new dimensions of economics, abundance, pleasure, vitality and health.

ENGINEERING: THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR COMMUNITY Footpaths, roads, bridges, powerstations, sewage works and many other elements of our community designed through principles of ecological sustainability prove far more beneficial not only economically in capital costs but considerably in maintenance and operating costs. These benefits are shown socially and environmentally also. Sewage systems will return dividends to the community, becoming botanic gardens. Desertification can be reversed. Flooding halted. Algal blooms eliminated. Toxins and pathogens consumed. Waste recovered.

PLANNING: THE FUTURE PLAN OF ALL OUR ENVIRONMENT. Developed through a thorough understanding of ecologicallly sustainable design or Ecology Architecture recognises many benefits, economically, socially and environmentally. Integrated wholistic watershed design is one key ecological element to benefit our future. Keying into the rhythms of the biology of our natural environment enlarges our need for stewardship and purpose of involvement in being integrated with our regenerative communities.

Ecological planning mediates the dialogue between human actions and natural processes reinforced through reciprocal relationships of all living things and to each other and their biological and physical environment. This applies at every scale. It requires an integrated multidisciplinary approach. HART ASSOCIATES offers this. Our team shows a complete resource mix that creates a complete solution that will not only show vibrancy and excitement but demonstrate rewardable economic gains.
