Luxury living for the downsizer market.
The developer nervously approached us with this narrow, triangular-shaped, island site. The location demanded large luxury apartments with private garaging, but a basement appeared impossible to anyone looking at the site.
We approached the challenging situation by first resolving the basement and car parking arrangements. By spending time analysing the site and its surroundings, our team was able to determine the best location for the driveway and maximise the outlook and orientation of the apartments.
We successfully negotiated building setbacks with the council and we were able to exceed the expectations of the client and marketing agents. The curved forms soften the building and lead the eye away from the sharp angles of the site.
There is 1 common wall in the building, and only 2 apartments per foyer, with the penthouses having their own private foyers. These features add to the exclusivity of the building, which appeals to the luxury apartment buyer.

We care about your project as if it were our own.
We sweat the small things, so you don’t have to.
And we take care of everything from interpreting council rules to making sure everything runs smoothly on-site. We know what needs to happen when it needs to happen, and how to get it done right.
We’ll run the project for you—it’s like working with an architect and a project manager. At once.
Our team is easy to work with. We’re a rare blend of qualified, highly skilled, passionate architects, who genuinely care about what we do and who we do it for.
With 15+ years of experience, we have a knack for designing complex multi-residential buildings. This experience can’t be taught, it’s built over time and sets us apart from the rest.
So if you’re looking for a dime a dozen draftsperson. Or a building designer with zero qualifications. You’re in the wrong place.
We understand your reputation and brand matter.
We understand time equals money.
We understand great design increases market value.
It’s our job to make sure your project goes the way you planned.
We’re not your usual architects. We don’t apparently “listen”, but keep designing the way we want. We aren’t precious when it comes to our designs. And we’re not chasing architectural awards. We understand good design but we also understand what drives development and costs.
And we take the time to understand what you really want. This combined with good judgment and interpretation skills means you know exactly what to expect from the start.
Let us help you pull everything together—in a cost-effective, hassle-free way.
