URBAN & LANDSCAPE DESIGN

 

 

 

  

 

URBAN DESIGN

Urban design is a significant consideration for any planning approval. A proposal must have regard to the neighbourhood and streetscape character.

To this end we have skilled, professional resources to assist in the formulation of a development application, with staff qualified in a range of disciplines including town planning, landscape architecture and architectural design.

We can advise on the urban design integrity of any development proposal both for the private and public sectors.

Our urban design services include:

  • Appraisals of areas, sites and buildings including feasibility studies to establish development opportunities and strategies to achieve planning permission

  • Advice on urban design, preparation of site layouts and development briefs

  • Streetscape Plan

  • Site Analysis and Design Response Plans and Reports

  • Residential Urban Character Studies

  • Neighbourhood and Site Description Plan and Design

  • Auto CAD drafting and documentation

Our aim is to create stimulating, functional, sustainable and distinctive spaces that respond to the unique qualities of the local environment and culture of an area.

Urban design complements the surrounding neighbourhood through the consideration of facade articulation, building materials, landscape treatments, and necessary ResCode requirements eg. ridge heights and set back.

Implementation of urban design will optimise the full potential of your property through the development of innovative, responsive and practical solutions.

Our clients include both local authorities responsible for entire urban systems and private sector clients who are developing projects within the urban context.
