Residential
Creating places to call home

Our award winning portfolio is a testament to the care and responsibility we carry when designing places and spaces for people to live and thrive.

Design through a commercial lens
We pride ourselves on the commerciality of our designs which seek to push the art of the possible within the realities of budget and timelines.
Realising profitable design concepts, fostering positive engagement with planning and delivering live projects on time and on budget form the foundations of our residential designs.
Our team also help clients improve the commercial viability of their existing design proposals by way of independent peer reviews, post planning analysis and optimisation exercises.
By committing time upfront to listen, pushing the art of thoughtful design and keeping to our word through honest and transparent communication, we add tangible value to projects.
Years of experience coupled with the latest in design thinking shapes solutions that seek to exceed expectations.

Affordable Housing
The complex challenges surrounding affordable housing delivery means investors need greater assurance to ensure a stable flow of funding. In turn, that investment depends on the timely delivery of high-quality, energy-efficient and affordable homes within tight budgets.
Taking a holistic approach to design from concept through to completion ensures the threads of affordability and sustainability are woven through every aspect of design and construction. This results in warrant ready design solutions and whole life cost certainty from capital expenditure to long-term operation.


Student Living
Creating places which inspire community is at the core of our student living designs. Each project is approached through the lens of placemaking, to provide enriching environments where students can live, study, rest and play and most importantly, feel at home.
PBSA is a fast-moving market, particularly with the advancement of wellness and technology. With that comes increased competition for residents. Designing around the student experience and with future flexibility in mind is critical. This is why our developments and University client relationships continue to stand the test of time.

Private residential
Sustainable, functional and beautiful living spaces is what defines our design approach for private homes. With extensive experience across both new build, adaptive re-use and the conservation of heritage properties, every project respects its unique context and the particular tastes and needs of its residents.

Sustainability is a continual thread through our designs, with six Passivhaus accredited designers who work to ensure that regardless of building type or aspiration, we deliver sustainable, comfortable places to live.

Core to our work no matter who we design for, be it students, families, individuals, those with varying needs or entire communities, is a drive to push the art of what’s possible while respecting the realities of budget and timelines. We aspire to evoke pride in people and place by crafting spaces that blend robust functionality with thoughtful and inspiring design.
