Comprehensive Architectural Services for Residential Projects
​
studioBNH provides complete architectural services from initial concept through construction completion. As a small studio, we ensure direct principal involvement throughout your project.
​
Initial Consultation & Feasibility
​
Every project begins with understanding your requirements and assessing your site's potential. We review:
- Site opportunities and constraints
- Planning controls (LEP, DCP, SEPP, and new Low and Mid-Rise Housing provisions)
- Development potential and yield studies
- Preliminary budget parameters
- Project timeline and approval pathways
​
With the new NSW housing policies providing increased development opportunities, we help you understand both the potential and the additional complexity these changes bring to the approval process.
​
Design Process
​
Concept Design
We explore design options through sketches, diagrams and 3D studies, testing different arrangements while considering site planning, spatial layouts, and form. This exploratory phase ensures we find the optimal solution before proceeding to detailed documentation.
​
Design Development
The selected concept is refined through detailed plans, elevations and sections. We coordinate with consultants, select materials and finishes, and review cost planning to ensure the design remains achievable.
​
Documentation Services

Authority Approval Applications (DA/CDC)
We prepare comprehensive documentation for authority approval:
- Architectural drawings to authority requirements

​
NSW Pattern Book Designs
​
We assist with the implementation of the NSW Pattern Book designs, adapting selected designs to your site's specific conditions and preparing documentation for streamlined approval. This includes design review for site compatibility, modifications to suit site conditions, site compliance review, and complete architectural documentation required under the accelerated pathway.

Transform existing homes through considered additions and reconfigurations. From substantial extensions and second storeys to internal redesigns and modern rear additions, we create seamless transitions between old and new while maximizing your home's potential.
Investment Properties
For investors and developers, we balance design quality with project feasibility, understanding that good design adds value and market appeal. We optimize layouts for yield and compliance, specify durable and cost-effective materials, and create designs that differentiate your development in a competitive market. ​
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn, design and build.

We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We value their continuing culture and contribution to the life of our nation, regions and cities.
