DUAL OCCUPANCY DEVELOPMENT 🏠 🏠 The Site📍 62 Cummins Road, Brighton The Task 📝 The proposal sought to develop the site with high quality and responsive double-storey dual occupancy dwellings and demolish the existing dwellings. Double garages were provided for both units. The Outcome 💯 The proposal reviewed an approval from Council as the Secluded Private Open Space requirements were met with both units having roof decking and backyards and balconies. The high quality and responsive design is well located on a corner site. The proposal increases the landscape value of the site and the area through the planting of new trees, shrubs varying in size and shape complimenting with the built environment.

The Permitted Development house! This is when PD works in your favour over a planning application. There are some clever unseen tricks in this development, the secrets of PD, that enabled us to get the most out of an otherwise delapidated old bungalow that was locked in a watertight 20% planning policy.

Looking to develop medium-density housing in Victoria? Andever’s Cape Street apartment design may inspire your future projects. Originally a large single-family home block at Heidelberg, our client wanted to house multiple families in the development, ensuring sufficient privacy while fitting in the suburban character. Rather than the conventional townhouse typology (which renders a substantial part of the site a driveway), our response was to design an 8-unit apartment complex that centralized the building mass and reserved generous backyard spaces to the ground-floor units, allowing mature flora all around. After rigorous assessments of shadow and bulk impacts, we obtained all planning approvals, setting a precedent for future developments. If every 1 in 6 free-standing single dwelling were redeveloped in this way, the number of overall dwellings in an established suburb could in fact double without imposing even so much as a third storey. Not to mention, striking a good balance between liveability and affordability.

Reviving Historic Homes: Balancing Charm with Modern Comfort Ann Arbor, Michigan, is renowned for its vibrant culture, esteemed university, and picturesque neighborhoods. But perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of the city is its abundance of historic homes, each a testament to architectural beauty and a window into the city’s rich past. From stately Victorian mansions to quaint early 20th-century bungalows, these homes are treasures that offer character and charm that can’t be replicated in newer construction. However, restoring and reviving these historic homes often comes with the challenge of balancing their original charm with the demands of modern living.

USING INFRA-RED TO DRIVE OUT THE DAMP Even ritzy upscale modern developments on the banks of the River #Thames can have their problems. In this case the way the #apartment had been constructed, below an elevated communal garden area, the challenge was damp. An #InfraRed #heating solution was ideal in this situation as it not only heats people directly, it also heats objects – walls, #floors, #furniture, etc. Quite quickly installing a combination of #infraredpanels and #IRbars turned this luxury waterfront #home from dank and chilly to #warm and #toasty 😊 Watch the #casestudy then, if you have a problem with damp, get in touch. #InfraredHeating #HomeComfort #HeatingSolutions #DampSolutions #EnergyEfficient #ModernLiving #LuxuryApartments #InfraredTechnology #WarmHome #InteriorComfort #SustainableLiving #RiverfrontLiving #EcoFriendlyHeating #HeatingInnovation #InfraredPanels #IRBars #HomeImprovement #SmartHeating #StayWarm
