Open-plan living used to be the preferred layout for homes, now there is a new alternative that seduces more and more our clients: the broken-plan living. So what it is? A broken-plan living is a transitional movement between the modern open plan layout and traditional separated home layouts. It distinguishes the living spaces by using varying textures, steps, different sized spaces, different ceiling heights or even different floor and ceiling finishes. Our  building designers  breakdown what you need to know about the broken-living space and explain its clever use of space. Allow the light to flow throughout the spaces. Access to the natural light is primordial when designing these spaces therefore it is important to keep the same flow of light. The use of internal windows is a good way to solve the noise dilemma and still allows light to pass through unlike standard partition walls. Use levels to divide spaces. This approach works pretty well for kitchen and li...

In 2012, a fire starts in the Lacrosse apartment tower in Melbourne and spreads incredibly quickly through the Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) which ended up significantly damaging the building. As a result, builders, building surveyors, fire engineers and architects are under investigations as whether or not the building’s external cladding was compliant with the fire resistance requirements of the BCA. Based on this incident, we want to share with you some of the key points a building surveyor has to consider when issuing a Certificate of Design Compliance. A building surveyor may have to share the risk and liability when a builder has taken on the responsibility and risk for design and construction; Building surveyors, when issuing building permits, approve and consent that they are exercising a statutory decision-making role. They must remember that they are held to the same high standards that apply to Government; The knowledge base of a building surveyor is limited depen...

There are many misconceptions about web designers that we thought we would take a moment to address them. 1.        Web Design is easy & anyone can do it Sure, websites can look effortless and simple but each button and feature takes time and effort in decision-making, as well as analysing and a lot of trial and error. There is a lot of work that goes into a website, ensuring it is achieving its business purposes while still having an effective design. 2.        The site is done, so you don’t need us anymore This is the most common misconception that we hear about and one that concerns us the most. Once a website is up and running, it does not mean the work is done. Websites are the most effective when they are the most relevant, therefore frequent updates to your content and technology is crucial. As well as frequent backups, to ensure that your site is secure. This is why Design Web Perth offers a monthly fee ...
