Without doubt award-winning homes will be built throughout Beyond Today's picturesque site.
The developers have engaged experts in planning, landscape design, and building design to develop guidelines that allow the greatest benefits to living experience through best layout of streets, parks and view lines, and quality of buildings that are economically and energy efficient.
Every care has been taken to create truly beautiful homes.
Each home will be different.
Each home will be built according to high standards for the long-term maximum comfort, capital investment, environmental protection and changing lifestyle needs.
Imagine! A sweltering summer's day...
Your home stays cool naturally!
Imagine! A chilly winter's day...
Your home stays warm naturally!
Energy-efficient, economically sensible homes require little or no artificial heating or cooling assistance to make you comfortable.
Beyond Today's design guidelines have been produced to give every homeowner the best practical guidance for achieving highest sun-given energy efficiency benefits through:
- placement of windows
- orientation of living areas
- thermal mass for internal walls and floors
- external shading
- landscaping
- freedom from overshadowing from neighbours
Other guidelines explain how to provide healthy, cooling natural ventilation to all rooms; how to keep in warmth during winter and expel unwanted heat during summer; how to conserve water and power; how to avoid materials that cause ill-health; and much more.
