A successful DA for Bondi Apartments, approved in less than 3 months!

In less than 3 months between lodgement and approval, we not only achieved a speedy section 4.56 modification DA approval but also gained significant height and GFA uplift.

The project delivers 11 luxury apartments, where we increased the original allowable GFA from 0.9:1 to 1.5:1. We also elevated the height limit from 12.5m to 17.5m, creating value for the client and delivering a generous built outcome, all with a fast turnaround.

To discuss DA approvals, we’re more than happy to meet over coffee. Reach out at [email protected] or call (02)90904678.

Another successful HDA EOI submitted!

Whilst a car park is typically thought of as a grey, utilitarian structure, the Picton Car Park invites a more careful and considered approach.

As the project nears its end, our team has tested an array of paint colours that align with Picton’s red-brick heritage buildings. We believe providing a little extra care can make the expansive 130-metre, 230-space car park not only functional but beautiful and respectful. This way, the car park recedes into the background despite its size, allowing the historic surroundings to shine.

We’ve tested the samples above in direct, indirect, and shaded sunlight conditions, utilising several renders to visualise the building and ensure an appropriate outcome. We can’t wait to see the final result!

If you have a commercial project and need some advice, reach out on 02 9090 4678 – we’re happy to discuss over coffee.

A fantastic morning at the Sydney Build Expo, where Jesse led an engaging and interactive presentation exploring the significance of collaboration in architecture.

“Beautiful buildings are made through collaboration” — a simple idea that sparked meaningful discussion, with every voice in the room heard and contributing to the conversation.

We’re also proud to have our work featured in the Architects Hub at the Expo, sharing our approach alongside a broad community of practices shaping the built environment.

Thank you to everyone who participated and brought such great energy to the session.

Swipe to see the transformation of our 11 boutique Bondi Apartments, where we've achieved a 30% uplift on the existing development!

Through the State Government’s LMR planning bonuses for sites within 800m of a town centre, we’ve increased both height and GFA while improving the overall design quality.

At Lockhart-Krause Architects, we’re well-versed in navigating the approvals process to achieve considerable uplift in multi-residential dwellings.

For enquiries on apartment projects, we’re happy to have a chat over coffee. Reach out at [email protected].
