ARCHITECT BUILDER COFFS HARBOUR

 

How do you live well in a fast-changing world? A world of massive social and economic changes that lie ahead? How do you plan and build a home NOW, so that in 10 years’ time it will give you comfort and shelter in a world with an unknown climate?

 

How do you plan your life now, so that you can adapt to the changes head?

 

Reiner will facilitate various processes that guide you through these vital steps:

 

• Understanding

 

• Acceptance

 

• Response

 

Through review of the science, scenario planning and risk assessment we can develop a deeper understanding of our situation.

 

Through understanding we can come to the acceptance of ‘what is’ and see our responsibility to act.

 

Once we recognise the urgency and our responsibility, we can find appropriate ways to respond on a personal level, engage on a regional level and become part of the change movement globally.

 

The City of Hope in Coffs Harbour will be our base camp and experimental lab.

SUSTAINABLE HOUSING COFFS HARBOUR

 

BUILD

 

The build focuses on quality and sustainable architect designed homes, where we build no more than two to three homes per year, so that each one gets our full attention and personalised service.

 

We create homes that;

 

• Are comfortable all year round.

 

• Generate more energy than they use

 

• Value water. From harvesting, treating and re-using it on site.

 

• Are made using healthy building materials

 

• Incorporate roof gardens

 

• Modify the micro-climate with green walls

 

Skillful management of our trusted team of contractors and suppliers ensures short construction times and high-quality results.

 

DESIGN - BUILD - LIVE

Sustainable homes are our specialty.

Our philosophy behind this business is to create homes that are environmentally, socially and financially sustainable, from the design right through to the build and livability.

 

Design. Build. Live.

REINER SCHIMMINGER

 

Hi, I’m Reiner Schimminger, an Architect based in Coffs Harbour, in the state of New South Wales in Australia.

 

For the past 30 years I’ve provided architectural design services in and around the region as ‘Schimminger Architects’, paving the way in sustainable architectural design.

 

I’ve been involved in a broad base of environmental learning and engagement over the last three decades. I’m a passionate environmentalist and was active in Climate Action Groups. 350.org and have also been an Ambassador for Al Gore’s Climate Project.

 

I’m active in the Coffs Coast Climate Action Group and the Stop Adani campaign and I’m involved in the deep ecology processes and learning from indigenous peoples.

 

I’ve presented to community groups, schools and anyone who has been searching for inspiration to create a living future through Warm Data Lab as an authorised host.

 

I’m a registered, practicing architect with over 35 years of experience, both overseas as well as in Australia. I’m also a licenced builder, with over 20 years’ experience.

 

I established The Natural Home Company in 2003, where I built architect-designed projects as a licenced builder. As part of the evolution of my career, I launched Schimminger Design Build Live in 2019 which combines the three principles of my work of architectural design, green and sustainable building and living within those spaces designed to have minimal impact on the environment both now and into the future.

 

I’m a member of various associations including; Master Builders Association (MBA), Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) and Living Future Institute of Australia.
