Full residential architectural services across Greater Sydney, from granny flats and renovations through to dual occupancies and new homes, all grounded in approvals, buildability and cost.
Greater Sydney covers more than thirty councils and a very wide range of blocks, from inner suburbs on narrow lots to the growth areas of the west and south-west where new subdivisions, larger lots and dual occupancy and granny flat demand are strongest. We design and document residential projects across that whole area from our Lindfield studio, with site visits where the project needs them.
Each council has its own LEP and DCP, but the questions are the same: what the zoning and lot size permit, whether a CDC pathway is available under the Housing SEPP or the Low Rise Housing Diversity Code, and which overlays apply, from flooding in the Hawkesbury-Nepean and Georges River catchments to bushfire on the urban fringe. Reading those controls accurately at the start is what keeps a project on its programme.
Across Sydney the work we do most is granny flats and secondary dwellings for homeowners and investors, dual occupancies and duplexes for owners and small developers, additions and alterations, and new homes, including repeat designs for builders working across several sites. In every case we design, draft and handle the approval documentation, and the builder of your choice builds from the set.
Every project starts with a clear read of the local planning controls and the likely approval pathway, then design and documentation developed in parallel so the drawings price and build as intended.

Consultant Coordination in Greater Sydney →Before a design is fixed, the underground services on the block need to be found and the site surveyed. LCG Locating, part of the LCG group, maps utilities and scans concrete across Greater Sydney, so the survey, the locate and the drawings come from one team.
Yes. While our studio is in Lindfield, we design and document projects across Greater Sydney, including the Inner West, the Eastern Suburbs, the Northern Beaches, and the western and south-western suburbs.
Yes. We design and document; you choose the builder. Many of our clients are builders and developers themselves, and we prepare drawings their trades can price and build from.
Complying development is a state-wide pathway, but whether a particular project qualifies depends on the zone, lot size and overlays for the site, and some councils exclude certain areas. We confirm it for your address first.
Send through the property address and a note on what you want to achieve. We check the controls, come back with the likely pathway and scope, and arrange a first conversation by phone, video or at the studio.
