Feasibilities + concepts
A feasibility study is one of the first steps in a building project. It allows you to assess your current space and identify constraints and opportunities. Project feasibility studies review the practical and financial aspects of your proposed ideas. Often, it can be challenging to establish whether a project is worth doing. By conducting a feasibility study, we can explore the possible options and help you determine what can be built and the best way to maximise the site's potential. At the end of this process, you will have a clear set of directions for setting out on the path to planning your new design and will ensure that you have considered the risks and understand the best options for your site and budget.
New homes
Whether you have a vacant site ready for development or are considering demolishing and building a new family home, our approach is centred on tailoring the design to perfectly align with your unique needs, lifestyle, and the site's specific characteristics.
When designing your new home, you'll need to make many choices and consider many factors. You'll need to decide whether to build a single or double story, determine the size of your home and the number of rooms you require, choose the materials you want to use or select an architectural style. With so many things to consider, designing can be a daunting process.
That's why at Dome Design, we work closely with you to produce a comprehensive design brief for your project, guiding you through all available options to ensure that you make an informed decision. We help you combine all your needs and desires into a single integrated concept.
We will work with you to help you understand and visualise every angle of the design of your home, from the initial conceptual sketches and detailed architectural plans to interior design guidance and options.
We will design your home with elegant simplicity, uniqueness and functionality regardless of the project's scale or budget. A timeless home designed specifically for you to endure through the years.
Renovations and additions
Does your current home need a facelift? Have your family's needs changed and you need more space to accommodate your growing family? Whether it's a simple kitchen transformation or a large renovation, we can help you make the most of the opportunities to improve your home. From a simple one-bedroom extension, garage or verandah to a large double-storey extension to the existing house, we can advise you on all the available options to suit your budget, lifestyle and site.
An integral part of renovation and extension is blending the old with the new on both the aesthetic and functional levels. The extensions are an integral part of your new house layout, and our team will review all aspects of your home design, old and new.
The architectural style of your new extension is carefully designed to complement and enhance your existing home, maintaining its overall character, or you may decide to add a modern exterior and change the appearance of your home. Whatever your choice is, we will create a design that will blend in and complement your existing home and create a design that will satisfy your individual needs
Multi-unit developments
Whether you are looking at subdividing your property and building a second dwelling or redeveloping a site with multiple units, townhouses or apartment buildings, we can assist you with maximising the development potential of the site with the best possible outcome.
At Dome Design, we strive to create design with effective multi-unit residential solutions for Melbourne's growing population and concurrently take into consideration the importance of meeting the day-to-day needs of the people who will live there and call these developments a home.
All multi-unit developments require town planning permits. Multi-unit developments are taken from conceptual design through to Council liaison and then a building permit approval. Local and State Government Legislation can be complex and must be looked at as part of the initial design process to help a project proceed through the maze of the planning process and requirements. We will design a site-responsive development to suit the neighbourhood character and sustainable energy rating requirements of a particular site. The land, mature trees, adjoining neighbours and the client's needs are all taken into consideration when designing a multi-unit project.
