Subdivision

Much experience has been involved with small lot subdivisions in character areas, coupled with designs for proposed new dwellings that were to fit into the newly created lots. Town planning reports accompanied these applications, and the complexity of the projects combined with the topography and 'tightness' of the site bred some interesting challenges that resulted in some of these concepts and built forms shown on the right.

Acreage

Involvement has extended to larger scale, semi-rural homestead type housing projects. The sites were in total contrast to the density and topography of innner city Brisbane, and thus produced a different result. Of all elements in a residential project, the site is the most important. The solution must respond to the site. Valuable experience was also gained by working alongside the builder and actually constructing the house from footings to roof.

Renovations

Low density neighbourhoods contain many 'renovators delight's'. An example of this is shown. The original house was not ignored, but rather the style of the house was enhanced with modern ideas that related to the original form. We have the means and ability to untap the potential of your home in the design of the renovation.

Concepts

Part of the design process is developing the scheme in line with the brief of the project. Presentation drawings are provided to communicate the design to the client at a stage where opportunities and constraints can be discussed. This is typically an exciting time for the client and the designer, and the drawings must convey that sense.
