Apartments and townhouses are essential to meeting the housing needs of growing urban populations. Success depends on balancing design quality with commercial viability while navigating complex policy and community expectations. We partner with developers and architects to deliver medium-to-high density projects that stand out for the right reasons. Our approach combines strategic insight with deep expertise in R-Codes and design policy to streamline approvals, unlock site potential, and create liveable, market-responsive homes.
How can we help?
- Define the site’s true capacity
- Navigate R-Codes and design policy
- Optimise outcomes for Design Review
- Secure robust development approvals
- Integrate density with the neighbourhood
We identify the achievable scale and density early, providing the commercial clarity you need to inform your project's feasibility.
We leverage deep knowledge of state and local planning frameworks to shape a clear approvals pathway for complex density projects.
We help position proposals for success by working with designers and architect to align design intent with planning policy.
We prepare targeted, high-quality application reports and manage the statutory process to reduce risk and secure timely, supportable planning approvals.
We manage sensitivities around scale and character through strategic engagement, ensuring your development adds value to its existing urban context.
