WHAT WE DO

Residential Building Design

Custom homes, renovations, extensions and knockdown rebuilds designed to suit your lifestyle, site constraints and project goals.

Dual Occupancy & Townhouse Developments

Development-focused design solutions that maximise site potential while responding to council requirements, ResCode standards and neighbourhood character.

Town Planning Documentation

Council-ready planning packages including site plans, floor plans, elevations, shadow diagrams and design response documentation prepared for planning permit applications.

Working Drawings & Construction Documentation

Detailed construction documentation prepared for building permits, consultant coordination and construction.

Commercial Building Design

Design and drafting services for retail, hospitality, warehouse, mixed-use and commercial developments throughout Melbourne.

Development-Focused Design

Successful projects require more than good design. They require a clear understanding of planning controls, site constraints, council requirements and development opportunities.

Our approach focuses on delivering practical and commercially minded design outcomes that maximise the potential of each site while maintaining compliance with local planning requirements.

Whether you are developing a dual occupancy, townhouse project or multi-unit development, we work closely with clients to create efficient layouts, improve project feasibility and support successful planning outcomes.

From Site Feasibility to Permit Approval

We assist clients through every stage of the project journey, including:

  • Site feasibility assessments

  • Concept design and development

  • Town planning documentation

  • Council submissions

  • Design response preparation

  • Working drawings

  • Consultant coordination

  • Building permit documentation

By considering planning requirements and construction outcomes from the outset, we help create a smoother pathway from concept to construction.
