Design and Advocacy
A Homey home is not just an architectural product; it is a life-long relationship between occupant and space. Our consultancy service sits between you and every architect, engineer, and contractor involved, translating your personal wellness profile into a verifiable built reality.
The Journey: Nine Phases of Advocacy
We guide you through the full lifecycle of your project across nine distinct phases.
-
A deep-dive "Wellness Audit" mapping your sensory preferences, daily rhythms, and family dynamics.
-
The "constitution" for your home. A formal document defining your wellness pillars—light, air, acoustics, and ritual.
-
We shortlist and facilitate presentations from architects matched specifically to your brief and values.
-
End-to-end coordination from Schematic Design to Construction Documentation, ensuring every detail meets the Standard.
-
We navigate the unpredictability of Melbourne councils and heritage requirements so you don’t have to.
-
Competitive tender management and rigorous analysis of our curated builder panel.
-
Your eyes on site. We conduct wellness-critical milestone checks on air quality systems, acoustics, and non-toxic materials.
-
A methodical inspection and defects management process to ensure the home is exactly as promised.
-
Transitioning from a build project to a Homey lifestyle with full maintenance protocols and community access.
The Brief is the Foundation.
If the brief is wrong, everything built from it is wrong. The Homey Brief is a comprehensive portrait of your relationship to space. It includes:
-
Flexible, expert advice when you need it. Book hourly support across a range of topics—from planning to problem-solving. This focused consultation will help clarify your goals, map out next steps, and identify opportunities for growth.
-
Ensuring your budget is allocated to the areas that matter most to your lifestyle.
-
We provide curated reference imagery and material standards to align the project’s aesthetic with your sensory preferences and our toxin-free requirements
-
This document prevents "Brief Drift," ensuring that 18 months into the design process, the original vision for your health remains the primary measure of success.
