Here we design of two new homes on a subdivided block in Beecroft, NSW, and we faced several challenges:

​

 

• Heritage and Conservation Restrictions: The area is known for its heritage charm, necessitating a design that respects local aesthetics.

​

 

• Bushfire Zones: Compliance with safety regulations for bushfire-prone areas was essential.

​

 

• Strict Tree Protections: Protecting the existing landscape while adhering to building requirements added complexity to the project.

​

 

• Tight Building Envelope: Working within a limited 250m² building envelope on a 2,400m² block required innovative design solutions.

​

 

After 12 months of collaboration and addressing feedback from neighbors, we successfully secured DA approval. By maintaining a traditional and understated design approach, we honored the heritage of Beecroft while also handling the interior design to ensure a cohesive vision throughout the project.

In partnership with a wonderful client and an excellent builder, @RosewoodHomes, the projects came together beautifully. The result is a pair of homes that not only meet regulatory requirements but also enhance the character of the neighborhood.
