Nostalgia is reborn in a modern terrace home.

Located in an area undergoing a transition from industrial to residential, the developer wanted to demolish the old building and construct a contemporary concrete and glass apartment building. (As he thought that was the only way to maximise his return.)

We were able to achieve the yield required by the developer without destroying the character of the area. We did this by retaining the old façade and designing the new dwellings to fit the grid of the old building.

The new apartments were designed as 1 & 2 storey terraces, arranged around an internal courtyard, with parking and retail on the ground level. This means all the apartments have an abundance of sunlight and natural ventilation.

The developer saved a significant amount of money by not having to construct a basement on a site that was contaminated.

The 21 apartments sold off the plan in under 2 weeks, and only 1 has changed hands since they were finished 3 years ago.

About the
Professional

We care about your project as if it were our own.

We sweat the small things, so you don’t have to.

And we take care of everything from interpreting council rules to making sure everything runs smoothly on-site. We know what needs to happen when it needs to happen, and how to get it done right.

We’ll run the project for you—it’s like working with an architect and a project manager. At once.

Our team is easy to work with. We’re a rare blend of qualified, highly skilled, passionate architects, who genuinely care about what we do and who we do it for.

With 15+ years of experience, we have a knack for designing complex multi-residential buildings. This experience can’t be taught, it’s built over time and sets us apart from the rest.

So if you’re looking for a dime a dozen draftsperson. Or a building designer with zero qualifications. You’re in the wrong place.

We understand your reputation and brand matter.

We understand time equals money.

We understand great design increases market value.

It’s our job to make sure your project goes the way you planned.

We’re not your usual architects. We don’t apparently “listen”, but keep designing the way we want. We aren’t precious when it comes to our designs. And we’re not chasing architectural awards. We understand good design but we also understand what drives development and costs.

And we take the time to understand what you really want. This combined with good judgment and interpretation skills means you know exactly what to expect from the start.

Let us help you pull everything together—in a cost-effective, hassle-free way.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
