Urban planning is the ultimate master plan which allows for the notion of design from the macro to the micro. We are increasingly involved in planning groups of buildings, roadways, site boundaries etc... this can range from higher density multi storey apartments down to single dwellings, shops, offices, parklands, and community buildings etc... Previously completed projects have received numerous awards, however we take more pleasure in news articles written by the occupiers of these communities, how they notice the light in the rooms, the proportion of spaces etc... or even more-so, how much they enjoy living there.

The reason this is so gratifying is that our client for these 'Project Style' schemes is the developer, and not the ultimate occupier. This usually means that we are dealing with a much more limited palette - construction methods, materials, and often the colours are defined  by the development company before design begins. For example, on one project (in some photos below) roof tile, colour and profile were limited to a single choice.  There were only three choices for fence types and colours, brick types and colours, and window types... quite  challenging! Obviously, this development approach is a very different realm to our 'one off' purpose designed and built Projects.
