Alex Slater

Canberra-born and raised, Alex Slater understands the necessity of a well-insulated home. Sometimes the weather can knock your socks off through frostbite! A registered architect and certified passive house designer, now living in Melbourne, Victoria, Alex walks with both the architectural and building physics worlds, together.

His typical approach is to de-label and re-assess the requirements of a building envelope based on a project’s priorities. This approach has been used effectively to work with standards and conversations about building physics in Australia and Alex is on a mission to confirm that good buildings are not rocket science, they just require some upfront thinking.

With professional experience in architectural drafting, Excel business tools and shop drawing, along with a love for music and creative arts, Alex thrives in the world of the grey area, combing both thinking hemispheres to deliver good, healthy buildings.
