Building Design for Established Northern Sydney Homes
Northern Sydney and the North Shore include many established residential areas where site conditions can directly affect the building design.
Sloping or irregular land, mature trees, privacy, heritage requirements and surrounding development can all influence the design and approval process.
Our building design and architectural drafting work in the region includes custom homes, extensions and renovations, knockdown rebuilds and challenging residential sites.

Design Services for Northern Sydney Homes
Designing for Around the Existing Site
Established properties often come with features that cannot simply be ignored or designed around later.
Existing trees, slope, neighbouring homes, access, privacy, orientation and the character of the street can all affect where your home or extension should sit and how it should be planned.
We assess these conditions early so the design responds to the property rather than forcing a standard solution onto a site that needs something more considered.

Northern Sydney & North Shore Building Design FAQs
Do you work throughout Northern Sydney and the North Shore?
Yes. Our project experience includes Epping and Beecroft, and we consider residential projects throughout Northern Sydney and the North Shore depending on location, project type and scope.
Do you design extensions to established homes?
Yes. We design extensions and major renovations where the new work needs to integrate with an existing home while improving space, light, circulation and functionality.
Do you work on sloping or irregular sites?
Yes. Our project experience includes properties affected by slope, irregular site geometry, significant trees and other constraints that need to be considered from the beginning of the design process.
Do you work with heritage or character homes?
Yes. We have experience with heritage and established homes where additions need to consider the original architecture, streetscape and relevant planning requirements.
Can you prepare plans for DA or CDC approval?
Yes. Depending on your property and proposed work, we can prepare the design and documentation for the appropriate Development Application or Complying Development Certificate pathway and coordinate the required consultants.
Do you prepare Construction Certificate drawings?
Yes. Where required, we can continue the project through to Construction Certificate documentation following the design and approval stages.
