We’re excited to unveil our latest residential project at Juniper Road, Wantirna, a refined duplex development that showcases what’s possible when thoughtful architecture, technical precision, and strategic town planning come together.
Set on a spacious site in Wantirna, this proposal transforms an underutilized property into two substantial, contemporary double-storey homes that balance design excellence with strong policy alignment. The updated architectural response enhances access, clearly quantifies site coverage and permeability, and strengthens the streetscape presentation to deliver a confident and well-resolved planning outcome.
With over 53% site permeability, carefully articulated built form, and integrated landscaping, the development maintains the garden-suburban character while optimizing functionality and livability for both dwellings.
🏘️ Project Highlights
- Two spacious double-storey dwellings with generous internal layouts
- Separate crossovers to improve vehicle circulation and on-site functionality
- Double garages to each dwelling with practical on-site maneuvering
- Over 53% permeability, supporting strong garden character outcomes
- SPOS exceeding typical minimum requirements for both dwellings
📑 Our Contribution
Our team managed the project from concept through to lodgment, including architectural design, preparation of the comprehensive town planning report, coordination of consultant inputs, and full application project management.
The photorealistic renders were also produced in-house by our team, bringing the design vision to life with clarity and precision.
