How to design a Knockdown Rebuild

Keep the street and the suburb. Replace everything else.

A knockdown rebuild lets you keep the location you love while designing a home with no compromises inherited from the old one. The conversation starts with the block itself, its fall, its access and its best outlook.

How to talk about design

The decisions that matter most

1

Read the block again

The old house may have ignored the best aspect. Design the new home around where the light and the view actually are.

2

Mind the established trees

Mature planting and neighbouring homes shape what you can build. Factor them in before the footprint is set.

3

Respect the streetscape

A rebuild that sits comfortably with its neighbours ages better and moves through approvals more smoothly.

4

Demolition is a design input

Access for demolition and site works can influence the plan, so talk about it early rather than at the end.
