Urban Design &

Urban design and planning strategies that respond to place, guide development and improve the public realm. We consider built form, street character, movement, solar access and neighbourhood context, translating these into practical design directions.

Shadow Diagrams
& Built-Form Studies

Shadow diagrams and solar-access studies to inform design decisions and support development applications. We assess the relationship between proposed built form, neighbouring properties and public space, with clearly presented existing and proposed conditions. For rapid early-stage modelling, Shadow Studio lets you import a site plan, trace building massing and explore how shadows change through the day in your browser.
