DA Approval of our Lord Street, Roseville Project

We are pleased to announce the successful Development Application (DA) approval for alterations and additions to the dwelling in Lord Street, Roseville.

This project, now featured on our website, represents a carefully considered transformation of an existing home within the Clanville Conservation Area in Roseville. The design focuses on enhancing liveability through improved spatial planning, increased natural light, new swimming pool and a stronger connection between indoor and outdoor living areas, delivering a contemporary family home while respecting the character of its surroundings.

The approval was ultimately secured through an appeal to the Land and Environment Court (LEC). While our preference is always to achieve approvals through the standard DA process, this project required escalation to ensure the client could realise their vision. Importantly, the appeal outcome substantially retained the integrity of the original design, reinforcing the strength of the architectural approach and planning strategy.

This result highlights our ability to navigate complex planning challenges and advocate effectively for our clients when required, balancing design quality with regulatory frameworks to achieve the best possible outcome.

If you are planning alterations and additions in Roseville or the wider North Shore, and are seeking an experienced local architect to guide your project – from concept through to approval – we would welcome the opportunity to assist.
