 While we cannot immediately reverse climate change or the rising temperatures across Australia, from a building perspective we can work towards designing in harmony with our changing natural environment, through sustainable innovation and fire resilient buildings and landscapes.

Each site has unique variables to consider when designing to be resilient against bushfire attack – from BAL-L to BAL-FZ. At Resilience Design and Build, our process ensures your new home has the highest chance of withstanding these natural disasters.

Landscaping

 We collaborate with a world renowned landscape architect who extends our fire resilient home from the inside out, through bushfire landscaping techniques. These include strategic garden layouts, minimising combustible garden materials and choosing appropriate flora. We consider the aesthetics of your garden and incorporate bushfire resilient design without compromising your outdoor lifestyle.

 As outlined by the Queensland Government and CSIRO’s “Bushfire Resilient Building Guidance for Queensland Homes”6, the benefits of bushfire resilient homes and landscapes will help: 

  • Reduce the loss of life from bushfire
  • Reduce the impact and number of homes and buildings lost to bushfire
  • Improve community resilience to bushfire events
  • Reduce the social and financial cost of recovering from bushfires
  • Conserve and enhance Australia's biodiversity and ecological value

 

At Resilience Design and Build, we utilise strong design principles throughout our projects.
