New Homes
You’ve been thinking about this home for years. The layout, the light, the way it feels when you walk through the front door. We take that vision and turn it into something a builder can price and council will approve — without losing what made it special in the first place. No templates, no cookie-cutter plans. Just a home designed around how you actually live.

Why it matters
Designed to get approved
We don’t draw beautiful homes that fail at council. Every decision considers the planning rules from day one.
Drawings builders love
Clear, detailed, no ambiguity. Builders can price accurately and build confidently — saving you money on variations.
One person knows your project
The person who sketches your concept draws your construction docs. Nothing gets lost in translation.
Our approach
How we deliver new homes — step by step.
Understand your site
We study your block — orientation, slope, views, neighbours, easements, and planning overlays — so the design responds to what is really there.
Explore the brief
Rooms, flow, storage, light, privacy, entertaining, future-proofing. We map your lifestyle into spatial requirements.
Design in 3D
Concepts are developed in full 3D so you see the home — not just a flat plan. We iterate until the design feels right.
Document for construction
Detailed, dimensioned drawings that builders can price accurately and construct confidently. No ambiguity.
Navigate approvals
We prepare and lodge DA and BA documentation, respond to authority queries, and keep the process moving.

Common questions
Answers to the things clients ask most about new homes.
How long does a new home design take?
Typically 12–20 weeks from initial consultation to approval-ready documentation, depending on complexity and approval authority response times.
Do you work on sloping or difficult sites?
Absolutely. Challenging sites are where good design makes the biggest difference. We have extensive experience with steep, narrow, and irregularly shaped blocks.
Can you help with knockdown-rebuild?
Yes. We can assess whether renovation or rebuild is the better path, and design accordingly.
Do you handle the energy rating?
Yes — energy assessment is integrated into our design process from the start, not bolted on at the end.
