Site, brief, two schemes in 3D, a locked concept, and through to DA or CDC approval.
A documentation set complete enough to price in a single pass. No RFI chase, no surprises on site.
The practice is grounded in architectural training and more than 20 years of experience working within and alongside architectural practices on residential projects across Sydney.
Over that time it became clear that architecture is often misunderstood as something reserved for luxury, originality or exclusivity. In reality, the quality of a project comes from how it is resolved: the relationships between spaces, the clarity of decisions, and how the building is executed.
These qualities are not dependent on budget, materials or visual statements. They come from judgement, discipline and an understanding of how design, approvals and construction interact.
Our approach applies architectural discipline to residential design and documentation in a practical, accessible and buildable way, delivered through efficient systems without the overhead of a full bespoke architectural commission.
We focus on producing projects that feel coherent, purposeful and well put together; drawings that move smoothly through approvals and carry through construction as intended.
This is not about doing less. It is about applying architectural thinking precisely where it matters.

Each stage is fixed fee, agreed in writing before we start. Total design fee for a typical new build sits at 6-9% of construction cost, depending on scope.
