Welcome to Tochi.
We’re an architecture and energy efficiency workshop based in Melbourne, and we’re excited to be part of the growing movement for climate-friendly housing and cities.
Combining expertise in architecture, building and thermal performance modelling, Tochi is here to help you make the most of the space in your home while lowering your energy use.
Whether you need full architectural services, energy modelling and advice for your existing home, an energy rating for your design project, our multi-disciplinary approach means that we always take into consideration the big picture as well as the small details that make it work.
What We Do
We design clever, comfortable and efficient homes to suit the local climate. We specialise in re-imagining existing homes and making the most of small spaces.
We also provide energy efficiency services for residents across Victoria. An energy efficient home has many benefits including comfortable living, better health, low energy bills, less noise and reduced greenhouse gases. Tochi is accredited to carry out Thermal Performance Assessments (TPAs) in Victoria under the NatHERS Star Rating scheme. We carry out assessments using sophisticated software to model how well a house can naturally keep warm in winter and cool in summer based on the local climate conditions.
