We’ll then prepare the Development Application set of drawings and documents for submission to local council. This is the first major milestone and it generally takes 2-3 months to get to this point. The local council assessment period can vary greatly as it depends on the council’s current workload, the opinion of the assessor, and whether they require neighbour consultation periods. We recommend allowing a minimum of three months for this process.

Stage A: Pre-design

This stage is all about background research prior to putting pen to paper. We work with you to develop a detailed brief outlining the way your family lives, everything from where you drop your bag when you walk into the house to how you want to feel when you wake up in the morning. We’ll also help you gather images that visually represent the look and mood you’d like your new home to have. This stage is all about background research prior to putting pen to paper.

Stage B: Concept design

Enter trace paper! This is where we’ll start to develop a design concept, by way of hand-drawn sketches, 3D computer models, floor plans, elevations and other drawings. We’ll determine the general layout, organise the required rooms in a logical and efficient manner and look for opportunities to create some special spaces and highlight features. We’re anti waste, so we like to keep circulation areas such as corridors to a minimum so we can allocate the budget to areas you’ll actually use.

This stage also involves environmental and sunlight studies to track how the sun enters your home through the seasons. Passive design principles are integral to our work; sustainability is not just a buzzword to us! Good design always takes into consideration the direction of the sun and any breezes to ensure a home is as comfortable as possible with minimal mechanical heating and cooling.

Stage C: Design development

Once the concept has been approved by the client, we’ll start locking in all the external building elements such as room dimensions, ceiling and building heights, windows, doors and external materials and finishes. The design is built in our computer modelling software, Revit. This allows us to navigate around and walk-through a 3D render of the proposed structure and show what it will look like from every angle. The software also allows us to forecast the amount of winter and summer sun that will ingress into the home – a useful tool for planning passive heating and cooling.
