Hello! This is Episode 330. In it, I continue my conversation with Angela, a Tasmanian HOME Method member, currently kicking off the design phase of her project.

She and her partner have decided that, instead of doing the knock-down rebuild of their home as was originally planned, they are undertaking a more efficient and lower cost renovation of the existing home.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1 of my conversation with Angela and how they arrived at this decision, I encourage you to check out Episode 329. You can find it at www.undercoverarchitect.com/329 and hear what drove their project change after initial discussions about a new build with a local builder.

In this episode, we learn more about the design process, and some of the specific renovation preparation Angela has been undertaking to explore the condition and energy efficiency of the existing home.

You’ll also hear me give Angela a reality check about how she’s approaching this project, so she doesn’t get tripped up.

When we finished off our last episode, I was asking Angela where they were in their design process. They had completed a feasibility study with Designful to explore what was possible for the existing home conceptually, and to test some of the ideas Angela and her partner had been having to rework the existing footprint of the home.

And then, Designful had a 6 month waitlist before being able to commence working with them further.

We kick off this episode with Angela discussing where they’re at in their design journey currently.
