dream home evaluation tool

a simple, eight-minute quiz with easy yes/no questions on the six elements of a dream home

free personalised report to help you plan your dream home

Your free evaluation report benchmarks your current home using our Six Elements design methodology.

It captures design needs that many people haven't considered, so you can ensure every aspect of your life is reflected in your future home.

Why are you building, where
will you build, and how will the design fulfill your specific
needs?

How do you envisage your
home interacting with the
site, locality and climate?

How can your floor plan be laid out to ensure daily activities are efficient, productive and user-friendly?

How will your home support your physical, psychological and emotional wellbeing?

How can your home reflect your taste, style and aesthetic and create different atmospheres and moods?

How will your home use the latest building technology and smart design for sustainability and comfort?

At Align, our architects use the eight-minute Dream Home Evaluation Tool as the first step in gaining an understanding of our clients’ needs.

We’ve made it available to you here, for free to help direct your home-design thinking.
