Residential architect in Marrickville
Marrickville's cottages, bungalows and terraces sit on lots that reward careful planning. Our Marrickville project took a single-storey cottage with a tired rear lean-to and made it a two-storey home. The original gable stays to the street, with four bedrooms on a new first floor behind it and the garden reclaimed.

Questions people ask in Marrickville
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 go from one storey to two?
Often, yes. Our Marrickville project did, behind the original gable.
Will aircraft noise affect the design?
It can. Glazing, insulation and ventilation are specified to suit the noise level mapped for your address.
