Nature is an important element in our Fasham design philosophy. Homes that are attuned to nature feel more relaxing, more spacious and more welcoming. Many of our clients give the natural world a high priority in their lives, choosing locations and sites for their future home that place them in the centre of dramatic natural landscapes. Many clients want the natural world to be a strong element of design, even when they choose inner city locations and sites.

Our job is to maximise these elements in a way that meets the individual needs and lifestyle of each client. Over the decades that we’ve been building new homes, we’ve come to believe that a few key things can unlock the beneﬁts of nature in a home, regardless of where it is located. We incorporate these design principles into each home that we build.

• Light levels • Smart views • Signiﬁcant trees • Open to the sky • Natural colours and textures

Fasham Homes - Custom Home Designs and Custom Built Homes

Nature has always informed the architectural home designers at Fasham, it’s a way of life

Fasham have built their business around designing custom built homes that follow the path of the sun as well as the orientation and slope of the land parcel itself. The Fasham architectural design philosophy has always followed the ideals of light, considering the natural colour palette available on a land parcel. It sounds simple and obvious but is far less common among home builders than you might think.

Available light, on a given land parcel impacts the entire block from the condition of the soil, and the trees that grow there to where the shadows fall in winter. It is a fundamental ideal that when considered makes living in a home feel just right, in all weathers, in all seasons.

This simple idea has allowed Fasham to build award winning custom homes that are beautiful, elegant and completely functional, a joy to design and a lovely place to live and be. When building a custom designed home, the number of benefits that flow from this one simple principle solve or prevent so many problems that often don’t become apparent until you have been living in your home for a while.

To get the best value from a land parcel you have to consider what you have to work with in relation to those things you cannot change, like the slope of the land and the path of the sun. The slope of the land has to be configured to get the best views available and significant trees provide opportunity for shade in the summer and shelter from the winter storms.
