Work is underway on site with PMD Build on our design for alterations and additions to a home overlooking Tamarama Beach. The interiors are being completely remodelled, an additional storey added, and a new stair inserted, to bring light and air into what will become a luxury four level home.
We’ve just completed design development for alterations and additions to a 1950s neo-gothic house in Maroubra. The design keeps elements, such as the steep pitched roofs and corbelled brickwork, of the original home and makes distinct and contrasting additions to bring a new life to the home.
Simon Whitbread has been over to North Bondi to get some photos of our design for a new house in Bondi. The house utilizes an array of modern technology to achieve an 8.3-star energy rating, resulting in a home that generates more energy than it uses. PMD Build did a great job getting the house completed to a beautiful standard in less than a year.
We’re delighted to have been commissioned for a new project at Suffolk Park, just south of Byron Bay in northern NSW. It was great to be able to visit site during lockdown and experience our client’s amazing property, which fronts straight onto the stunning Tallow Beach.
We’ve just completed design development for this new freestanding home close to Clovelly Beach.
Located in the (former Leichhardt Council) Inner West Council area this design has been approved under NSW Complying Development Controls, meaning no approval by council is required. Pushing the boundaries of the CDC controls gave rise to a dynamic design and interesting forms that could never have been achieved within the conventional council approval process.

Our project for a new dwelling in Northbridge has just been approved by the planning panel of Willoughby Council. The application required two clause 4.6 variation requests due to exceeding both the height and FSR controls. After consultation with neighbours and a positive dialogue with Willoughby Council the panel agreed with the assessing officer’s recommendation that the design had been skillfully developed to minimize any impact to neighbouring properties and was well considered for it’s context.
A big day on site in Balmain with the large skylights and large rear doors being craned in to position. The skylights comprise of four sheets of glass laminated and formed in to high performing double glazed units, weighing about 400kg each panel. Perfect fit.
