01

Discover

We start with a complimentary consultation to understand your vision, followed by a thorough site visit to assess access, orientation, sunlight, and views. This foundation ensures smart design decisions from day one.

02

Feasibility

We analyse zoning, constraints, and opportunities through desktop studies and CAD site planning. This critical stage identifies potential issues early and optimises your building's positioning.

03

Design

Detailed floor plans and elevations incorporating passive design principles, refined through your feedback, then brought to life with photorealistic 3D renders so you can see your space before it's built.

04

Consent

Comprehensive construction drawings prepared with structural engineers when needed, plus complete building consent management including all council interactions and documentation.
