Welcome to the Smart Living Spaces blog — a collection of thoughts, tips, and insights on how we can design and live better in Aotearoa.

Here you'll find articles on Passive House, Homestar, energy modelling, healthy homes, and the everyday realities of sustainable architecture in New Zealand. Whether you're a homeowner looking to improve your space or a fellow designer exploring better building performance, I hope these posts offer something practical, empowering, and real.

Because good design isn't just about buildings — it's about people, comfort, and creating spaces that work for the long term.
