From low-carbon materials to Adaptive Reuse: How do we turn renovation choices into climate actions?

Renovating instead of rebuilding can reduce your embodied carbon by 50-80%? Forget teardowns, the future is built on reinvention, we all want a smarter way to build, one that respects the past and paves the way for a sustainable future.

‘Adaptive Reuse’ is an increasingly popular, powerful concept in Australian sustainable home design. What is it and how can we harness the benefits? It involves repurposing existing buildings fit for new uses for today and tomorrow, which can significantly reduce the environmental impact of construction and support sustainable development.

What can this mean for your renovation? Tune into this "Ask an Architect" session with return guest Antony DiMase of DiMase Architects. Discover ways you can:
Understand materials, carbon, cost implications
Overcome heritage, site, footprint restraints of your project
Learn practical lessons from real-world case studies
Turn your home improvements into climate solutions.

Antony DiMase is a highly experienced architect with over two decades of expertise in the construction industry. His focus on daylight design and sustainability has made him a specialist in building long-lasting homes with quality materials that require minimal external heating and cooling. Antony is a proponent of home renovation over rebuilding, as it is a more cost-effective option that also reduces waste during construction.

At DiMase Architects, they believe that every square metre should be working hard for you, and a well-designed space that is appropriately scaled to fit the needs of our clients is more interesting and sustainable than larger homes devoid of uniqueness.
