We offer full Architectural services:

Project Feasibility, Costing Analysis & Pre purchase Design

We maximise the value of your considered residence and minimise the risk by efficiently and accurately identifying the logistic requirements of environment, council, and heritage on your land. Your investment is market tested then constantly assessed during the design process to ensure an excellent design that is cost sensitive and driven to comfortably fulfill your Brief.

Concept Design

Your Brief is a solid wish list that becomes a drawn concept. It identifies how it looks or does not look. How it makes you feel from the socially open living spaces to places of

tranquil privacy and seclusion. There is also beauty in function like having great storage, good parking and windows that catch the summer breeze, it is about having a lifestyle just the way you like it.

Developed design

Your concept is developed into a working 3D model that is used to provide inspiration and to help clearly communicate the design from all angles. The model is worked until you are happy.  We also select materials from the cladding of the walls and roof to your kitchen and wardrobes. After a cost analysis and your consent, we commence compliance documentation.

Development Application and/or CDC Compliance

To Date our documentation and negotiations have had 100% success in obtaining approval for our clients to build. We coordinate all consultants such as Stormwater Engineers, Planners, Bushfire and Heritage consultants. We then professionally respond to all Neighbour and Council enquiries on your behalf.

Interior Architecture

The designs concept is expressed in its Interior detail. The Kitchen, Bathrooms, Stairs, fixtures, and fittings all have a typology that have a look and feel about them. We design the lighting to then enhance their aesthetic and overall make the design concept flow from the Landscape to the Architecture through the Interiors.

Tender & Construction documentation

We provided our expertise to assist you in the choice of builder. The contract and inclusions are reviewed so nothing is missed, and the builders quote is checked to ensure the pricing matches the specifications. Our Architectural construction documentation ensures all built elements, services and engineering are coordinated so that your residence is built beautifully.

Construction Administration

We undertake regular site visits with the builder to provide progress updates. Every element we have agreed on in the contract documentation from lighting position to quality of concrete is inspected before its paid for. Administering the contract provides piece of mind.

Landscaping

From the smallest outdoor courtyard to an entire masterplan of an Estate the outdoor space is designed to complement and connect with the Architecture & Interiors. To have all three elements speaking the same design language is your beautiful and healthy Patten Design.
