We have worked with Gruen Eco Design multiple times. They are professional, with excellent attention to detail and welcome insight into green building construction techniques and methodologies. We highly recommend their services.

Simone and the team at Gruen Eco Design are highly knowledgeable where it counts in terms of good solar passive design and the ability to achieve the highest possible star rating of 10. We have worked with Simone on several projects to date and she takes a very customer focused approach by engaging the client and their design brief and is happy to further develop client sketch ideas into a cohesive structure. This pared with expertise in the use of highly efficient building materials sets Gruen Eco Design apart as a unique architectural business. The use off 3D CAD modeling is highly effective and really helps each client to visualise their project above and beyond a standard 2D elevation. I have also engaged Simone for a personal project being the development two dwellings on a highly challenging sloping block in Eltham. Having tackled the challenge of driveway cut, retaining walls and dwelling orientation to follow the fall of the land as well as take advantage of the solar passive benefits of a North facing rear yard, Simone rose to the challenge and we are currently working through the complexities of planning law. It is without hesitation that I recommend Gruen Eco Design for your new home or renovation, especially is you seek the benefits of good solar passive design, energy and thermal efficiency.

If your after a sustainable house both in design and materials then Gruen Eco Design will help. Really passionate and knowledgeable about homes designed to be eco-friendly. As we are an eco business who assess and retrofit existing housing stock to become energy efficient, we needed someone who was as passionate about energy efficiency as we are to look after our clients who want to build new or add extensions to their homes.

I can't say enough of the quality of service and work provided by Gruen Eco Design. As per the name of the company, the key focus is on energy efficiency and self sustainability, without the compromising the design and your personal taste. Gruen Eco Design is also very creative in providing solutions to the complex building designs in order to meet your requirements. The director of the business is extremely professional and quick to answer all your questions and concerns. I give a 5 star to this company and if we build again, without any doubt will not use any other company but Gruen Eco Design.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Simone when photographing two of her completed projects, the most recent being in Box Hill North. The quality shown in the end product was of a very high standard and I enjoyed the opportunity to photograph the properties.

Thanks for your review! It was great working with you.

Chris Xandford

At this stage through our project Gruen Eco Design have lived up to their high reputation. Their knowledge in thermal efficient design is what we were looking for, and we are very happy so far with their advice, design and planning. We look forward to our continued relationship as building gets underway.

Custom Home Designs Pty Ltd

Simone and her team (at Gruen Eco Design) have been associated with and working with my company, (Custom Home Designs) for the past few years In Victoria, and in this time I have found her to be meticulous with detail, always returning emails and calls on time and assisting my clients with all facets of design and consultation work. She specializes in the best use of thermal and solar applications to help maximize the homes comfort and yet decrease the use for artificial energy into the home. I have no hesitation in recommending Simone and her team and look forward to continuing our ongoing business association.
