Home Designs Newcastle

We believe modern home designs in Newcastle should be as environmentally friendly as they are beautiful. With this in mind, our director, Adrian Sorensen, has achieved structural engineering qualifications to ensure your new home looks great and functions seamlessly while maintaining an excellent home energy rating.

Sorensen Design & Planning is HIA GreenSmart Accredited, meaning we focus on improving the water and energy efficiency of our home designs and creating healthier homes for our clients.

Other fundamental principles include home designs with environmental features like:

• Correct site orientation to maximise solar principles

• Natural ventilation

• Insulation and thermal mass

• Flooring.

In the planning phase of our project, we will discuss various environmental factors, how a few small changes can make a big difference to water and power bills, and how you can minimise your long-term carbon footprint.

We use ArchiCAD's latest 3D building design software to deliver our architectural home designs in Newcastle. This innovative software allows us to design, visualise, document, and deliver new home designs in the form of high-resolution 3D images—we can even provide a walkthrough of your new home and visualise the completed work before we have even begun construction.

“I would highly recommend the team at Sorensen Design. Adrian and Scott were sensitive to the heritage requirements of this property and were a pleasure to work with. The brief was far from straightforward, but their professionalism, expertise and hard work ensured it ran smoothly. We couldn't be happier with their design for the original building as well as the contrasting modern addition. Thank you!”

“Thrilled to have worked with Sorensen Design on my completely new home. Not only did they put my ideas on paper and work with me to show various designs and concepts, they took care of working with all the other consultants for the project to be complete. The entire process was stress-free and quite enjoyable to work with Adrian and the team at SD! Thank you!”

“Sorensen Design worked with me on our new home at Salamander Bay. It was a difficult design that had several hiccups during the approval process. Sorensen was available at all times and met the issues head-on, resulting in a home that we are 100% happy with. I would recommend them to any prospective clients for both their professionalism and friendly approach through the entire design and build process.”

— Brad M.
