1 At Earth Temple, we embrace various models and methods of building residential homes – particularly for those interested in living “off-grid”, sustainable lives. There exist numerous factors which could determine the design. The aforementioned factors would include: the availability of materials, the type of workmanship available, the local customs and traditions, the possibility of using materials from other regions, the climate would play an important role together with the site conditions, and finally, the financial situation of the proposed home. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PROCESS: At Earth Temple Architects we hold dear to the Hierarchy of Sustainable Practice. Starting with the architect adding skills to the professional team and orchestrating an integrated system approach.
