Suva Townhouses Approved

Our Suva townhouses have achieved Planning Approval and the construction documentation is almost complete. The development consists of 8 high-end townhouses, in a mix of 2 & 3 bedrooms, huddled amongst the distincitve palm trees of Suva. Construction to commence August 2020.

Designed for the tropical climate of Fiji, the building is elevated from the ground to capture ocean views and the ground level carpark is clad in breeze blocks to naturally ventilate the building. The breeze blocks have been designed in collaboration with the client, using their pre-cast concrete plant located in Fiji. All windows are glass louvres to promote air circulation, cross-ventilating the rooms to reduce the need for airconditioning. Large eaves overhangs and window hoods protect the windows from wind driven rain and the harsh afternoon sun.

Narrabeen Beach House Approved

Our Narrabeen Beach House was determined by the Northern Beaches Council last month. Very happy and relieved to finally receive Development Application Approval. A long process due to a Submission at the final hour of the Public Notification Period, from a resident living 2 blocks away from our site, regarding View Loss. Interesting, considering the adjacent neighbours supported our proposal and council’s feedback, following our Pre-Lodgement meeting was complimentary and supportive. You always get one! The process involved, community consultation, an independent planning assessment, erection of height poles, a View Loss Analysis submitted as part of the DA Documents, and presentation to an in-house Planning Panel at Northern Beaches Council.

Looking forward to seeing this one come out of the ground over the next 6-8 months, working with Maurice and Nuno from AURORA Design! Also a big thanks to Natalie Nolan from Nolan Planning Consultants who provided a fair and thorough independent assessment of the submission and to Northern Beaches Council for supporting our project.
