SERVICES
Holmes Dyer’s approach to urban design seeks to combine the most desirable aesthetic elements, human qualities and community aspirations with the commercial realities of market acceptance, project viability and delivery.
We have extensive experience in large scale community planning such as master planning and structure planning for whole towns and new suburbs, residential, industrial and business park subdivisions, site planning for retail centres and shopping precincts, mixed use projects, aged care developments, educational institutions, public realm /
streetscapes and infill sites.
We have particular expertise in site planning for medium density housing and apartment products and in designs that facilitate the delivery of higher residential density outcomes.
Design processes often involve interaction with existing communities and stakeholder interests. Holmes Dyer has consultation expertise to facilitate a process of design interaction to deliver shared visions and outcomes, while ensuring that concepts are pragmatic, commercially robust and capable of being delivered.
We are also active in the preparation of design briefs for architects which provide strategic design direction to address market requirements (land use mix, floorspace requirements, apartment sizes, community requirements etc.) and planning parameters (floorspace limits, heights, setbacks, heritage building relationships, pedestrian linkages, car park requirements etc.).
Holmes Dyer is focussed on place making and building communities and therefore our designs incorporate high levels of legibility, interest, attention to safety and functionality.
