Rethinking Sustainability

We offer a range of services including: Integrated sustainable solutions using NatHERS, BASIX & BESS and holistic advice on compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC). Adelaide based; Australia wide.

Our philosophy is simple. Sustainability is all about the human outcomes. We already know about the measurable, tangible differences that sustainability provides, where we improve the insulation, and we save a certain amount of money on our energy bills.

But what about us?

We, the humans who inhabit homes surely get benefits beyond just saved money? Well, we do.

There is a huge benefit beyond the dollars in building a sustainable home. Our comfort is increased. Our wellbeing is improved. And our way of life is easier.

This is the ARKATA way of living, being and doing. Homes that deliver utmost comfort. Homes that seamlessly integrate health. Homes that deliver an impactful vision.

You see, sustainability is more than meets the eye.

Imagine a home that provides relief from constant allergies…

Imagine having more energy during the day because you got a full night’s rest…

Imagine reading a book in the sun but with the comfort of being inside…

Imagine having choice over what you wear during the winter…

These are just some of the possibilities a sustainable home provides. The features that make a home sustainable give you these quality-of-life improvements, but these are not actively discussed or even known.

This is what the ARKATA way is all about. By rethinking sustainability from first principles, we provide you with a way of measuring these intangibles. What can each client do? How does sustainability complement and enhance their vision of a home? What are the things we cannot see as easily, yet make all the difference in going beyond?

By rethinking sustainability like this, it doesn’t become a question of whether the finances make sense, but whether the finances even matter in the long run after the human-benefits are made visible.

Through this lens, sustainability is simple and effective.

This is the ARKATA way.
