DESIGN + DEVELOPMENT
Residential Design Melbourne
Design for new homes, renovations, dual occupancy, townhouses and multi-residential projects — with planning and development thinking built in from the start.
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
One design practice. Different residential scales.
VANTAGE works across owner-occupied homes and development-led residential projects. The common starting point is the site: its planning context, opportunities, constraints, budget and intended outcome.
New Homes
Site-responsive residential design from concept through planning and construction documentation.
Renovations + Extensions
Rework existing homes around better space, light, function and buildability.
Dual Occupancy
Two-dwelling projects shaped by site potential, planning controls and liveability.
Townhouses
Development-led design for townhouse sites, from early feasibility to documentation.
Townhouse Design Melbourne →Multi-Residential
Design thinking across multi-dwelling sites, balancing planning, market, amenity and delivery.
Planning + Documentation
Planning permit design, consultant coordination and construction / building permit documentation.
HOW WE THINK
Design decisions are development decisions.
Good residential design is not isolated from planning, cost or construction. VANTAGE connects architectural thinking with development insight so early design choices are tested against what the site needs to achieve and what can realistically be delivered.

STARTING POINTS
Not sure which service you need?
Can VANTAGE assess a site before design starts?
Yes. Early site and development thinking can help establish the appropriate residential direction before substantial design work begins.
Do you only design townhouses?
No. VANTAGE's residential design scope includes new homes, renovations and extensions, dual occupancy, townhouses and multi-residential projects.
Can design continue through planning and documentation?
Yes. Depending on project scope, services can extend from concept and planning through construction and building permit documentation.
