Duplex Designer for Austral Properties NSW

Duplex developments are a popular way to maximise land value in Austral while delivering high-quality residential outcomes. However, poor duplex design can result in privacy issues, inefficient layouts and approval delays.

  • Individual street identity for each residence
  • Balanced layouts that maximise usable space
  • Natural light and ventilation for both homes
  • Compliance with zoning, setbacks and height limits

By addressing planning and design considerations early, we help streamline the approval process and reduce costly revisions.

Granny Flat Design in Austral

Granny flats are increasingly used in Austral to generate rental income, house extended family members or create flexible living arrangements. A successful granny flat should feel like a complete, comfortable home rather than an afterthought.

Our granny flat designs focus on:

  • Efficient use of available space
  • Functional kitchens, bathrooms and living areas
  • Privacy for both the main dwelling and granny flat
  • Compliance with CDC or DA requirements
  • Designs that complement the existing home

We help clients determine the most suitable approval pathway and ensure the design meets all regulatory requirements.

Home Extensions and Renovations in Austral

As Austral continues to develop, many homeowners are choosing to extend or renovate their existing homes instead of relocating. A well-designed extension or renovation can dramatically improve functionality, comfort and property value.

Santolo provides design services for:

  • Ground-floor and first-floor extensions
  • Open-plan living renovations
  • Structural reconfigurations
  • Kitchen, bathroom and living upgrades
  • Seamless integration of new and existing spaces

Our renovation and extension designs respect the character of the original home while introducing modern functionality and compliance with current building standards.

  • Identify site constraints early
  • Determine whether a CDC or DA is required
  • Design within council regulations
