Design for yield, liveability and resale
A duplex is an investment, a home, or both, and the design has to serve whichever it is. We plan for efficient floor area and rentability without sacrificing the light, storage, privacy and flow that make a dwelling worth living in and easy to sell. The best-performing duplexes we design don't feel like compromises.
The right configuration for your block
- Side-by-side, the classic dual occupancy where frontage allows.
- Front-and-rear, often the answer on narrow or deep lots.
- Detached dual occupancy, two separate dwellings where controls permit.
- One-above-the-other, where site or subdivision goals suit it.
What we resolve in the design
Privacy between dwellings and to neighbours, solar access and cross-ventilation, parking and driveways, streetscape and articulation, private open space, and buildability. On constrained blocks, custom architecture matters far more than a repeated plan. It's what turns a marginal site into an approvable, valuable one.
