7 STAR REGULATIONS

In recent years, the push for sustainable building practices has gained significant momentum, culminating in the Victorian Government’s introduction of the 7-Star energy rating requirement under the National Construction Code.  At Hudson Ridge Builders, we are committed to embracing these changes and leading the charge towards more energy-efficient homes that benefit both the environment and homeowners. The 7-Star energy rating is designed to ensure that new homes are built with energy efficiency in mind, promoting sustainable living and significantly reducing energy consumption.  This rating system evaluates a home’s thermal performance, taking into account factors such as insulation, orientation, and the use of sustainable materials.

FACADE DECISIONS

When looking to design & build a custom home, choosing the right façade is a decision that will pay dividends in the long run.

The power of a perfect façade – the exterior face that creates the first impression and sets the tone for the entire property. But beyond just looks, the right façade can also serve as a reflection of your personal style, the architectural theme of the home, and even the surrounding environment.

A well-designed façade can:

  • Enhance Curb Appeal: A stunning exterior design instantly grabs attention and draws potential buyers in, giving your home that “wow factor” that sets it apart from others.
  • Increase Property Value: Homes with appealing facades typically sell for higher prices, as buyers are willing to invest in a home that looks both beautiful and well-maintained.
  • Boost ROI: By choosing quality materials and an eye-catching design, you’re not just enhancing your home’s appearance but also improving its durability and longevity – key factors in increasing your home’s long-term value increasing your ‘return on investment’.

At Hudson Ridge, we believe that the perfect façade is one that combines both form and function.  Here are a few factors to consider when choosing your façade design:

  • Architectural Style: Your home’s architectural style should guide your façade choices.  Whether it’s a modern, contemporary look with clean lines and large windows, or a more traditional design with brick or stone finishes, Hudson Ridge offers a wide variety of façade options to suit any architectural preference.  Matching your façade to your home’s style will create a cohesive, polished look that increases market appeal.
  • Material Selection: The materials you choose for your façade not only affect the visual appeal but also the durability and maintenance of your home.  High-quality materials such as brick, stone, timber cladding, and rendered finishes can significantly enhance the look and feel of your home while offering protection against the elements.  At Hudson Ridge, we help you select the best materials to ensure your façade is as functional as it is beautiful.
  • Colour and Texture: Colour is a key element in façade design, and the right colour palette can elevate your home’s exterior.  Whether you prefer earthy tones that blend with the natural landscape or bold contrasts that make a statement, we help you choose colours that complement your surroundings and enhance your home’s overall character.  Additionally, incorporating texture through layered materials can add depth and interest to the façade, giving your home a luxurious, custom feel.
  • Sustainability and Energy Efficient: An attractive façade can also play a role in improving your home’s energy efficient.  With smart design features like strategically placed windows for natural light, sustainable materials, and insulated cladding systems, your façade can help reduce energy consumption, lower heating and cooling costs, and ultimately add to your home’s value.

By investing in a well-designed façade with Hudson Ridge, you’re not only enhancing your home’s beauty – you’re making a smart financial choice that will increase its value to years to come!
