Terraces and townhouses are back on the table across Sydney, the LMR reforms permit them within the mapped catchments, and well-designed low-rise multi-dwelling housing is the strongest yield-per-approval play most blocks will ever have. We design terraces, townhouses and manor houses that win approval and hold their value.

The forms we design
Terraces, three or more attached dwellings, each with street frontage.
Townhouses / multi-dwelling housing, attached or clustered dwellings on one lot.
Manor houses, small two-storey buildings of three to four apartments.
Dual occupancies, where two dwellings is the right density for the block.
Designed for approval, not just density
Low-rise multi-dwelling housing lives or dies on the details: streetscape rhythm, private open space, solar access, parking and deep-soil landscaping. The LMR reforms set non-refusal standards, meaning a compliant, well-resolved design has real protection. We design to those standards from the first sketch, and route through CDC or DA depending on what your site supports.
From feasibility to construction-ready
The process mirrors our duplex work: feasibility first (zoning, lot size, frontage, overlays, subdivision strategy), then concept design, then council-ready documentation with consultants coordinated. On constrained or sloping blocks, our difficult-site experience is what turns a marginal terrace scheme into an approvable one.
Questions about terraces & townhouses
Bigger helps, but the controls matter more than raw size. Zone, frontage, and the LMR band set what's permissible, and design resolves the rest. A feasibility review tells you quickly whether terraces, a manor house or a duplex is the highest and best use of your block.
Often, yes, Torrens or strata depending on the form and controls, and like duplexes it must be planned from the first sketch. Separate titles are usually where the value is, so we build the subdivision strategy into the design.
