Smart Design Meets Policy: A Contemporary Dual Dwelling in Frankston South

Our latest project at Norman Avenue, Frankston South shows how thoughtful design and collaboration can transform a standard side-by-side development into a standout residential outcome.

This project delivered two double-storey dwellings with a clean two-lot subdivision, each with generous open spaces, recessed garages with adjoining studies, and sustainable roof areas for solar energy. By keeping driveways minimal and incorporating a mix of brick, render, timber battens, and James Hardie cladding, we created a visually balanced, contemporary streetscape that respects neighborhood character.

🏘️ Project Highlights
• Spacious double-storey layouts with retreats, studies, and ensuites
• Large Secluded Private Open Spaces (155–160 sqm), exceeding standards
• Recessed garages reducing street dominance
• Clean two-lot subdivision with direct street access
• Landscaping and design that enhance streetscape and livability
• Sustainable features with solar-ready roof areas

📑 Our Contribution
We prepared the town planning drawings, comprehensive TP report, and managed the project from start to finish, ensuring a high-quality design outcome that fully aligns with planning policy and site requirements.

🤝 Acknowledging Our Collaborative Team
