Residential Architect Armadale

Victorian and Edwardian homes, established gardens and fine-grain streets make Armadale especially suited to careful residential renovation and addition work. TURNER+ designs new homes, renovations and extensions around the site, everyday use and how the project will actually be delivered.

We look first at what gives the existing house value, proportion, façade, room sequence, material or garden relationship, and what prevents it from working well for contemporary life.

Rear additions and internal reconfiguration can be designed to bring better light, connection and flexibility without turning the old and new parts of the house into unrelated pieces.

Heritage and planning requirements vary from property to property. Stonnington Amendment C320ston was approved and gazetted in June 2026, adding or updating Heritage Overlays for identified Armadale places and precincts. It also replaced one neighbourhood-character control in Bailey Avenue and Valentine Grove with a Heritage Overlay. We check the current address-specific controls before the design direction becomes fixed.

If you are looking at an Armadale property before purchase, or trying to work out whether to extend or make a more substantial change, a short early review can help establish the right path.

When should I engage an architect?
