If you haven’t listened to part 1 of my conversation with Cindy, I’d encourage you to head back to Episode 321 now so you can listen to that first. You’ll find that at www.undercoverarchitect.com/321.

In this episode, you’ll hear more about CIndy’s project. She talks about how she established her criteria for material selection and what that’s meant in doing a project in a regional area.

She also talks through her window selection, as well as the modelling of her home both from a visualisation point of view, and in testing energy performance.

And she shares with us how construction has been progressing, and how she’s navigated her relationship with her builder on site.
