The 7 Steps Process
The 7 Steps are seven natural, sequential groupings
of tasks that must be accomplished for any property
development project:

* Step 1: Assessment
* Step 2: Strategy
* Step 3: Concept
* Step 4: Application
* Step 5: Detail
* Step 6: Build
* Step 7: Realisation

Each of the 7 Steps has a goal that serves as a significant
milestone for the project:

Step 1: Assessment • To provide a Property Development Assessment that
gives a project a High (good to go), Medium (Proceed
with caution) or Low (no go) level of confidence to
proceed – before spending too much time or money.
Step 2: Strategy • To produce a Strategic Business Plan for the project
that will ensure all project partners (financier,
accountant, solicitor, planners, architect & builder etc)
are on the same page.
Step 3: Concept • To produce concept drawings that satisfy Size-Finish-
Cost criteria and have pre-planning approval.
Step 4: Application • To obtain a Town Planning Permit.
Step 5: Detail • To produce a detailed working drawing and
documentation package.
Step 6: Build • To complete the dwellings with Certificate of
Occupancy and individual titles (where subdivision is
involved).
Step 7: Realisation • To realise your return on investment

project name Surrey Hills House

date Completed 2008

awards 2008-09 HIA CSR winner

Residential Alterations

and Additions

design statement

The Surrey Hills house attempts to redeﬁne the concept

of suburban renovation and adaptation. The framing

of the house was stripped back to its skeletal timber

members, forming the basis of a major renovation while

retaining as much of the existing conditions as possible.

An additional front articulation mas was added to create a

formal entry into the building - a deliberate central voided

space.

Programmatically, the living/dining/kitchen area is located

in the north wing; bedrooms and other associated

ancillary rooms are located in the south wing.

This project exempliﬁes the ability of a client/builder/

designer collaboration. The builder suggested to retain

the existing structure in an effort to minimise costs and

promote a sustainable agenda. Whilst there are more

unknowns for the designer in the retention of the old, all

issues were design-solved in a process driven approach.

Further, it evolves from a discourse of history with layers

of meaning, encouraging a narrative of the site that is not

present in new construction.

project name Rivulet

date November 2007-present

project type residential estate design

site area 20,000 sqm

council Nillumbik Shire Council
design statement
Rivulet is the urban design scheme for a spectacular
20 hectare vacant creek-side site in Diamond Creek,
approximately 25km NE of Melbourne. The approved
development is a 79-lot subdivision; a combination of
single houses, townhouses and apartments ranging
from one to five bedroom dwellings, and a mix of social
housing and privately owned residences.
Rivulet is an exercise in a successful design-led town
planning process with a deliberate sustainability agenda.
It demonstrates how to listen to the council, liaise with
the council, respond to feedback from the council, and
ultimately serve up a design solution that exceeds their
own housing policy documents. Its an example of mutual
benefit where the client’s desires to develop the land
and council’s need for innovative housing proposals are
aligned. This results in a showcase project that promotes
the natural vegetation and topography of the specific site,
and aims to create a quality of housing that - from an
Ecologically Sustainable Design perspective - thinks global
and acts local.

project name Derring Lane houses

date completed Nov 2009

project type two lot subdivision

site area 550 sqm

council Kingston City Council

design statement

The Derring Lane houses are two luxury 3 bedroom units

on a corner site in Cheltenham. There was an opportunity

to create a design statement using bold forms, a mixed

palette of materials and articulation with overhangs and

setbacks. Both houses sit prominently on the site and

relate to each other, but retain their own personality

also. This is an example of how to maximise the site

and use land to create two large family homes on a

relatively small footprint - an example of successful urban

consolidation.

project name Allanby

date completed TP 2009

project type three lot subdivision

site area 929 sqm

council Glen Eira City Council

design statement
The Allanby project is a contemporary design of three
townhouses in Ormond. It utilises common materials in
residential housing in a new manner with bold formal
gestures. The sweeping roof is designed to open up the
facade to the north, whilst protecting the existing amenity
of the neighbours to the south. There is a large thermal
massive wall running through the townhouses - this is
designed to act as an internal wayﬁnding guide as well as
providing a connecting visual cue across the site.
The dwellings are all designed with Ecologically
Sustainable Design principles (ESD) at their core. The
passive techniques of north facing living areas, external
shading devices, deep overhangs on the appropriate
orientations plus many other considerations contribute to
the thermal comfort of the internal occupants and lower
embodied energy of construction materials and lower life
cycle costs. In short, this is a design which aims for low
carbon emissions.
