Duplex Architect Randwick, Eastern Suburbs Dual Occupancy Design & Approvals
Randwick City and the surrounding eastern suburbs command premium land and premium design expectations. A duplex here must meet the Randwick LEP and DCP and, often, coastal and heritage controls. We design dual occupancies with the quality and articulation this market, and this council, expect.

Randwick planning notes for dual occupancy
- Randwick's controls emphasise design excellence, streetscape and view sharing, facade quality and proportion carry real weight in assessment.
- Coastal, foreshore and heritage overlays are common near the beaches and in the older suburbs, frequently pushing projects to a DA.
- Tight, higher-value lots reward considered space planning over raw floor area.
In the east we lead with design quality and check heritage and coastal layers early, because both are decisive on these premium blocks.
