  • This week, Elena C., our Founder & MD at Evissa, had the fantastic opportunity to discuss the key areas of our practice, being invited to participate in the upcoming show on prefabricated buildings, which will air soon on #Channel Nine At Evissa, the combination of great architectural design, Passivhaus, and #EvissaSIPs allows us to create beautiful, energy-efficient, and functional homes that are truly a joy to live in. Watch this space as more details will be coming soon about both prefabAUS and the #Channel Nine show, which will dive into the complexities of prefabrication and the important details we consider in every project. Thank you, James McGregor, for the invitation to be a part of this exciting program! #Prefab #SustainableBuilding #ModularConstruction #EvissaSIPs #InnovativeDesign #EnergyEfficientHomes #Passivhaus #PrefabAUS

  • Success measured in gratitude, This weekend, our clients visited their home under construction and shared these words with us: "We visited our site over the weekend and checked the progress of our build and LOVE what you have designed, it is so beautiful and already has an aura of peacefulness. We are so excited to know we will be living in such a stunning home, thank you." Moments like these remind us why we do what we do—crafting spaces that inspire, comfort, and elevate everyday living. #Evissa #DesignedForLife #SustainableLiving #prefabrication #SIPs #structuralinsulatedpanels

  • Great progress this past week on our regional Victorian project in Venus Bay! Here we faced the challenge of balancing comfort with fire and wind safety. While conventional wisdom might suggest concrete or steel to be used within the bushfire zones, these materials often require extensive insulation to achieve occupant comfort. Decoupling the building fabric using Evissa SIPs, allows us to provide great thermal performance while incorporating a separate, robust fire and wind shield against our building fabric. This strategy demonstrates that we can achieve both comfort and safety, even in the most demanding environments. #Construction #VenusBay #RegionalDevelopment #SustainableBuilding #SIPs #FireSafety #BuildingSolutions #EvissaTeam #BuildingInnovation

  • Investing in Foresight for Low to Medium-Density Residential Projects. Recently we had an extended conversion with one of our clients on what the Architectural Design stages entail and found ourselves reflecting on how important the initial Concept Design Stage is and its influence on the overall project trajectory. Concept Design is the strategic foundation upon which the project success is built, defining the project's vision, feasibility, market appeal, and its impact on the surrounding community. In today's market, with recent RBA interest rate adjustments, well-planned low to medium-density developments offer a compelling pathway to better access finance. A robust concept design package is key to unlocking that potential and maximizing positive social impact. Here's why prioritizing Concept Design is essential: Strategic Foundation - It's where we define the project's DNA. A strong concept ensures a well-considered and impactful design solution from the outset, integrating seamlessly with the existing neighbourhood fabric. Start with the End in Mind - Engage expert consultants early, who understand the entire project lifecycle and the prefabrication methods applied. Informed Decision-Making - Explore building typologies, massing options, master planning, and cost estimations, to make informed decisions early and avoid costly rework and optimizing project viability. Streamlined Approvals & Investor Confidence - A strong concept design package facilitates smoother planning approvals, attracts robust investments and secure lending options. Risk Mitigation & ROI - Investing in a robust concept design minimizes risks, maximizes returns, and sets the stage for a successful development. It's an investment in foresight, particularly important given recent interest rate movements and their impact on development finance. Define Project DNA - its core identity and its relationship to the surrounding context to revitalize neighborhoods, support local businesses, and enhance a stronger sense of community. Speak to us to learn how team Evissa sets up your project for success, creating developments that are not only financially viable but also contribute positively to our communities. #ConceptDesign #MediumDensity #ResidentialDevelopment #PropertyDevelopment #RBA #InterestRates #Finance #Investment #UrbanDesign #Sustainability #Architecture #Community #Neighborhood #SocialImpact

    It’s always wonderful to welcome and have access to fresh talent into our team! Their young perspectives and fresh ideas bring increased value to our projects, especially during the documentation phase, where accuracy and attention to detail directly impact the quality of the final build. Lately, Aastha Mehta has been deeply immersed in refining the detailing and documentation for one of our upcoming prefabricated #EvissaSIPs projects. Her meticulous work has been invaluable because, in the end, precision in documentation translates to precision during #DfMA and on-site during construction. Thank you, Ash, for choosing to grow your career with Evissa. We truly appreciate your dedication and commitment! #TeamEvissa #YoungTalent #ArchitecturalDetailing #QualityBuild #prefabrication #dfma #sips #structuralinsulatedpanels

  • Our lovely creative junior architect Emma Cheah is up to something. She's been pouring her creativity and skills into developing a number of different concepts of innovative pods used for short term living and accommodation, at one of our sites in Venus Bay, Victoria. As always, the non-negotiable comfort and exceptional indoor air quality standards are front and center of our work. Well done for immersing yourself in learning, bringing new ideas to life, and choosing to grow your career with us. We are grateful to having you part of our growing team! Keep up the amazing work! As the project advances, we’ll share more details with you, stay tuned! #evissa #graduatearchitects #architecture #prefabrication #SIPs #passivhaus

  • Let's build a future we can all be proud of! As the new year begins, #TeamEvissa is energized to continue shaping a more sustainable future through thoughtful design and purposeful building practices. Over the past years, we've pushed boundaries with innovative projects, from integrating Evissa SIPs with #Passivhaus and #Buildingphysics to offering healthier, carbon-conscious alternatives to traditional housing. We've also explored and will continue to explore bio-foam and recycled insulation cores to lower our environmental impact. This year we’re committed to: * Expand our approach to sustainable housing supply and increase our economies of scale. * Meld heritage courtesy with contemporary functionality in our century old refurbishment projects. * Advocate for healthier, more energy-efficient living environments. Whether you're an industry professional, a community advocate, or someone curious about sustainable living, we’d love to connect, collaborate, and innovate together. Follow us to stay updated on our journey, and let’s make 2025 a year of shared growth and positive change! #Evissa #SustainableLiving #BuildingTheFuture #SIPs #Passivhaus #HeritageAndInnovation #2025Goals
