5 must-haves for city homes
-
A clever design will maximise your living spaces for an enjoyable, harmonious environment.
-
Heritage and restrictive planning overlays can create havoc for the uninitiated.
Know what you can and can’t do on your block to avoid delays and heritage headaches.
-
City living can be stifling in summer.
Make sure your design allows for maximum ventilation. You’ll see the difference in your energy bills.
-
A private, retreat-like feel is the ultimate goal for city living.
Trees and neighbouring structures can be used to maximise your privacy.
-
Building materials should complement the neighbourhood while making a statement with its aesthetics and function.

What they said
‘After purchasing a small, irregular shaped block and speaking with a number of designers, we began to think we would not be able to build a home on our block that met our requirements and expectations - that was until a friend recommended Dennis to us.
From the moment we met Dennis, he instilled confidence in us that he would be able to deliver on what we wanted. Not only did he meet our requirements his knowledge and experience provided many options for us resulting in a home we love and more than we could have imagined.’
