Residential architect in Balmain
Balmain's sandstone cottages and terraces sit on a peninsula that is largely heritage conservation area. We have not yet built in Balmain itself. Next door in Rozelle we are renovating a home in a conservation area for a young family, redesigned after an earlier application by others was refused.

Questions people ask in Balmain
All questionsCan I use a CDC here, or do I need a DA?
Much of the Inner West sits in heritage conservation areas, where external work usually needs a DA. Internal work can often be done as exempt or complying development. The Property Study answers it for your address before any drawing starts.
My last application was refused. Can you help?
That was the starting point in Rozelle. We read the reasons for refusal and designed a scheme that answers them.
Have you worked in Balmain?
Not yet in Balmain itself. Our Rozelle project is in the next suburb, under the same council and similar controls.
