The beginning of something new.

We’re excited to share the start of our latest project — a dual occupancy design where the existing dwelling will be retained and a new home introduced on site.

Working within the block’s constraints and council controls, our team has developed a site-responsive solution that embraces passive solar design while ensuring both homes enjoy comfort, light, and privacy.

This is just the first step in the journey — and we’ll be sharing more of the design process as it unfolds.

We absolutely love seeing our clients’ renovation

We absolutely love seeing our clients’ renovation projects completely transform their homes! ✨
Taking a home that has provided a safe and loved space for many years, then rejuvenating and upgrading it so the family can continue enjoying their community, friendships and schools — it’s truly rewarding.

Renovating rather than relocating is also a sustainable way to create the larger, more functional home you’ve always dreamed of. 🏡💚

Ready to start your own transformation? Reach out to LTAA Architecture today — let’s create your dream space together!

“Every site tells a story — even the narrow ones.

“Every site tells a story — even the narrow ones.

At LTAA Architecture we see ‘constraints’ as opportunities. On this 8-metre wide block, we unlocked space and light by:
• Maximising natural daylight with strategically placed windows
• Designing open-plan living zones with strong indoor–outdoor flow
• Using voids, central court yard and skylights to create volume and airiness
• Carefully selecting materials to enhance durability and warmth

Whether it’s a tight urban site or a coastal block, smart design turns small footprints into big lifestyles.
