Concept Design & Yield Analysis

All About Living (AAL), a not-for-profit provider of care and assistance approached our team to formulate a bid for a parcel of State Government land earmarked for donation to a suitable charitable organisation.
Along with AAL executives a submission was prepared and lodged on time to meet the strict State Government rules and conditions.
We presented a design showing a series of staged developments and options, all meeting the local council planning regulations for the site.
The design submission showed how the existing building could immediately be utilised and how the transition to a new building could economically occur.
The new building not only contained offices for AAL but also accommodated training facilities, function space, pharmacy, doctor and coffee shop.
This gave AAL rental income to ensure their long-term viability and substantially increased the level of care they could provide in the future.
Our design was successful in the bid and AAL were awarded the site.

We were approached by the owner of this existing industrial site.
The site has been under-performing as industrial sheds and the neighbouring sites to the south have gradually been rezoned Residential.
We examined the site and with consultation with Planners came up with a mixed-use master plan incorporating town houses, medium rise residential, health, day care and the retention of a portion of the existing industrial sheds.
Traffic, noise and overland flow were prime considerations as were views, open space and neighbours.

This concept was developed during our time at Mirvac / HPA and involved a golf course fronted precinct ready for subdivision into residential lots
The brief was to maximise the residential product with golf course views but minimise the visual impact to the street frontage.
The solution was to utilise the fall of the land and create clusters stepping down the slope and sharing an internal vehicle access network.
Large gaps between the clusters allowed residences without absolute frontage to enjoy views past the front structures onto the course.
Out of a typical cluster of seven homes, five received golf course views, and only two were presented to the street frontage
The design successfully broke up the streetscape, maximised the dwellings with views and minimised the number of driveways and garage doors facing the access road.
