New homes
A new home designed for your site and your family, from the first sketch to construction-ready documentation.
A new home starts with the site: its slope, its aspect, its neighbours and its planning controls. We study those before the first sketch, so the design uses what the block offers and the approval is planned from the start.
Our new homes are on blocks that ask something of the design. In Curl Curl a new house is being designed to work with landslip-mapped terrain and avoid heavy excavation. In Mona Vale a three-level home steps down a steep block toward the foreshore.
Architecture and interiors are developed together through the same phases, with a milestone meeting at the end of each one. You know what the next phase involves, and what it costs, before it begins.

Questions people ask
All questionsHow long does the design process take?
Timelines vary depending on the project size and complexity. A straightforward renovation design might take 6 to 8 weeks, while a new build or complex extension could take 12 to 16 weeks. We will provide a detailed timeline in your proposal.
Do you recommend builders?
We can introduce you to builders we have worked with and trust, but the final choice is always yours. We also help you evaluate builder quotes to ensure they align with the documented scope and specifications.
How long does construction typically take?
Construction timelines depend on the project scope. A bathroom renovation might take 4 to 6 weeks, a full home renovation 4 to 6 months, and a new build 8 to 12 months. Your builder will provide a detailed construction program before work begins.
