Little Hall, Carlton VIC

We create urban developments that contribute positively to the form and character of streetscapes and public spaces, incorporating pedestrian-friendly pathways, active frontages and inviting outdoor spaces that enhance the overall urban experience.

Our team believes that the planning and design of mixed used developments should be done with longevity in mind, not only considering maintenance, energy efficiency, and the needs of future generations but also shaping the future fabric of our cities.

We understand that medium and high denisity residential, mixed-use projects and precincts, have a crucial role in addressing urbanisation, housing affordability, inclusion and population growth challenges.

Our considered and place-based approach to planning and design ensures that these developments not only meet functional, client and project brief needs and also contribute to the overall liveability, sustainability, and identity of urban settings.

We consider context at multiple scales.

At a neighbourhood scale, we examine the broader character, context, and connections to local movement networks and blue-green corridors.

At a precinct scale, we create generous public domain areas and support local business by integrating retail and commercial spaces.

At a detailed scale, we create vibrant spaces that prioritise user experience and embrace a site’s unique features and sense of place.
