Residential architect in Haberfield
Haberfield was planned as a garden suburb and is protected as a heritage conservation area. Our Haberfield project worked entirely inside the house: a renovated bathroom, an updated kitchen and new lighting to the hall and living room. It was internal work that needed no approval and left the exterior untouched.

Questions people ask in Haberfield
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.
Can I add a second storey in Haberfield?
The controls make it difficult. Most additions go to the rear at ground level. We test what your block allows before design starts.
What can I do without council approval?
Often more than people expect inside the house. Our Haberfield project renewed the kitchen, bathroom and lighting as exempt work.
