Post & Beam designs each home to reflect the clients' individual requirements and the specific needs of the building site.

When a high mass material such as mudbrick is used, the homes are very solid and thermally efficient, keeping expensive heating and cooling requirements to a minimum.

All Post & Beam house designs incorporate passive solar principles to ensure low cost internal comfort. Sunlight is cleverly controlled so that it floods into the home during winter and is excluded during the summer.

Natural materials are used to create a healthy, low chemical environment to give these homes a serene and fresh feeling. Built from mudbricks, cypress posts, oregon beams and rafters, western red cedar doors and windows, pine ceiling linings and flooring to the loft and steel roofing, Zincalume or Colorbond, both the Clerestory and Loft Series homes are virtually maintenance free.

Post & Beam house designs range from quaint, cosy cottages to spacious family homes and the design simplicity means extensions can be added at any stage, without any fuss.

In fact, house designs that can be built in stages, as finances permit, are a popular option.

All Post & Beam homes can be supplied in kit form for ownerbuilders, with a comprehensively detailed 'plain English' construction manual and every nut, bolt and screw needed. Post & Beam also builds houses to lockup, completion, or any other stage.

The Clerestory designs provide subtle indirect sunlight to the whole house and if positioned with windows facing north, the passive solar properties of the house are enhanced.

Winter sun introduced to the colder side of the house means reduced heating costs.

The Loft designs have vaulted cathedral ceilings and a loft area. Dormer windows help create more space inside and external verandahs balance the design.
