If you’re considering a dual occupancy and have a lot more than 1,015m², excellent architectural design is key; innovative layouts, material selection and landscaping can ensure each home complements its surroundings and offers liveable spaces. Quality design doesn’t just unite two residences, elevates them both. As community members, homeowners, architects and builders, let’s champion well-designed dual occupancy projects and shape Ku‑ring‑gai’s future with care and creativity.

The current maximum floor space ratio (FSR) for detached dual occupancy development within Ku-ring-gai within R2 zoned land is 0.4:1 FSR.

As an example, if you have 1,500m² of R2 zoned land, subject to the site’s constraints, it may be possible to build a dual occupancy with two 300m² detached dwellings (that’s 600m² of GFA). This is currently much higher than available for a single dwelling which only allows for a maximum GFA of 470m² for a single dwelling on the same lot size under the LEP.

Considering a project? Let’s build better together, call us today!

The design invites you to experience contemporary open plan living via striking, curvaceous spaces that harmonise yet redefine the elegance of the existing dwelling.

Gone are the days of 2d drafting, we now model our projects in 3d which allows to produce these great images so that our clients can clearly visualise the project from inception.

The client’s brief was to design a new house in the rear yard of a corner block. The architectural design of the resulting detached dual occupancy, features a modern, contemporary style with clean lines, large windows for natural light, and open-plan living spaces. The home blends indoor and outdoor living, emphasising sustainability with energy-efficient materials and a lush, landscaped garden.

The R3 site contains three single residential dwellings and is located next to an existing aged 4 storey apartment building. The proposal contains 9 three-bedroom and 1 accessible two-bedroom terrace all with private parking under.

The site planning rejuvenates urban streetscape by introducing a green vista which is juxtaposed by the contemporary architectural built form of the development.

The client’s brief was to extend to the front with an open plan living and kitchen opening onto the existing swimming pool. We have taken the opportunity to give the street elevation of the cottage a face lift with new detailed timberwork, removal of concrete roof tiles and replacement with new as well as a feature gable end to articulate the facade.

These simple changes have brought this home back to life and we love the new open plan living and street presentation of this home.
