Approval for Maroubra - March 2022
Blending the old with the new. This 1950s bungalow in Maroubra with it’s original steep pitched roof had a bit of a neo-gothic feel. We are opening up the back, letting in the light and creating a space to soak up a more coastal style of life.

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.
Photography in Bondi – August 2021
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.
Project in Byron – July 2021

Approval for Rozelle – April 2021
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.
Northbridge Siteworks – March 2021

DA for Northbridge – July 2020
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.
