Goldfish & Bay is proud to contribute hydraulic and fire engineering expertise to Urban Property Group’s Little Bay project, recently granted DA approval. This development not only addresses Sydney’s housing needs with the inclusion of affordable homes but also reflects a commitment to thoughtful urban design. Our role involved integrating efficient hydraulic and fire systems into a layout designed by Hill Thalis Architecture & Urban Projects Pty Ltd, ensuring that technical precision supports the project’s architectural and environmental goals. Advanced stormwater solutions, in particular, complement the site’s coastal features, reinforcing its connection to the natural landscape. This project is a step forward in balancing housing, sustainability, and design excellence. Congratulations to Urban Property Group and the talented collaborators driving this meaningful initiative.

Creative design with precast for affordable housing solutions FREE webinar Over the last couple of years, I’ve watched a precast housing development grow in my own local area, and it's been fascinating to see the range of housing styles it offers—from modern apartments to spacious three-bedroom homes. This development - https://lnkd.in/gTa87RDS - is just one example showing how precast concrete can offer housing solutions and create vibrant, sustainable communities. As we grapple with a shortage of affordable housing, innovative modern construction methods like precast concrete provide incredible opportunities. Precast is versatile, cost-effective and enables quick builds, making it ideal for affordable housing projects. From energy-efficient designs using insulated sandwich panels to modular homes, it holds the key to meeting diverse needs in both urban and suburban settings. FREE WEBINAR If you're keen to explore how precast can unlock new potential in affordable housing, don't miss this FREE webinar hosted by our US counterpart, Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute. It will showcase innovative design solutions and case studies from the US. Many of our own members here in Australia manufacture and supply precast for housing projects, from affordable housing developments right through to luxury beachside dwellings.

The Highland Council recently confirmed the Section 75 Agreement for new homes in Conon Bridge, allowing Tulloch Homes to proceed with their approved plans to deliver 160 private and affordable homes in the area. As the project architects, Bracewell Stirling Consulting has been integral to the design and planning process, working as part of a team with engineers, transport consultants, ecologists, and landscape architects. We held consultation events with the public as part of the planning process and consulted with the Highland Council pre-planning. This early-stage engagement helped streamline the application through the planning process. We were the design architects for the site layout, which has been planned to be sympathetic to the existing landform, providing attractive landscaped open spaces and active travel connections with adjacent routes, amenities, and the wider Braes of Conon residential areas. The buildings and layout are designed with consideration for reducing energy use. We are experts in advising clients on cost-effective sustainable design solutions, and all houses in this development will be fitted with air source heat pumps. Construction of the Conon Braes South development, an extension of the existing Conon Bridge North, is expected to start next summer, with a focus on working with local trades and suppliers. #CononBridge #Architects #DesignAndPlanning #HousingDevelopment #PrivateHomes #AffordableHomes

In recent years, Australia’s #construction industry has faced an unprecedented crisis. Surging costs, material shortages, and labour constraints have culminated in a situation where many projects are delayed, scaled down, or abandoned altogether. Nowhere is this more keenly felt than in Victoria, where a strong demand for residential and commercial construction meets a market struggling to maintain affordability and efficiency. As a leading architecture practice based in Victoria, we believe it is essential to address this crisis head-on, explore its root causes, and propose potential solutions to navigate these turbulent times.

🗨 “London is one of the world’s largest ‘urban mines’, and Sivyer Group is a leading player. We can take a customer’s CDM, recycle it onsite, then return it for use in new building solutions. This allowed Canary Wharf Group to achieve complete circularity at Wood Wharf.” - Daniel Thompson, Business Development Manager, Construction Demolition Materials, Aggregate Industries UK. 🇬🇧 Thanks to the hard work of #BuildersOfProgress like Daniel, the vibrant new district of Wood Wharf in London’s Canary Wharf is an icon of sustainable construction. 🔗 Explore this Building Icon: https://lnkd.in/eBNhbfUh #BuildingProgress #BuildingIcons #SustainableConstruction #Architecture
