Maxa Designers

Maxa Design are specialist sustainable building designers.  We are passionate about designing innovative, energy efficient and environmentally sustainable homes and developments.  Making your life more comfortable and protecting our environment for future generations are high priorities.  Our goal is to inspire clients who want to lower their environmental impact. 

Particular attention is paid to:

  • Passive solar design to naturally warm and cool your home
  • Energy saving measures so your house is cheaper to run, saving you money
  • Water wise building design to efficiently capture and use precious water resources

In conjunction with traditional building design services, Maxa Design review the opportunities and constraints in each and every project.  We embrace the opportunities you present to exercise sustainable design and building practices, achieving greater energy efficiency for you.  These are second nature to us rather than a costly extra - our passion and experience are the driving force in developing designs that make a point of difference, with minimal environmental impact.
