Residential Architect Albert Park

Courtyards, roof form and discreet rear volumes can unlock contemporary living while keeping the heritage streetscape calm. TURNER+ works across renovations, extensions, heritage, compact-site design, beginning with the qualities and constraints of the actual property rather than a predetermined style.

Albert Park contains significant Victorian and Edwardian heritage areas within a municipality where many properties are covered by Heritage Overlays. Compact lots and coastal/flood context can also affect design. Check HO and property grading, zone, coastal or flood controls, party-wall/laneway conditions and title constraints. Demolition or partial demolition of significant/contributory fabric requires particular care. This is suburb-level context only: current controls, schedules, title conditions and the responsible authority must be verified for the individual address before control-specific advice is published or relied on.
