Enabling a bespoke design outcome
Carrington Parade is a highly detailed residential project designed by Space Design Architecture (SDA). Set across multiple levels and carefully connected to its surroundings, the home moves beyond a typical residential build, with a strong architectural vision and high-end finishes throughout.
Navigating complexity with confidence
The project presented a number of certification challenges due to its complexity and departure from standard residential design.
Key considerations included:
- Interpreting compliance alongside a highly resolved architectural outcome
- Navigating approval pathways beyond a typical residential build
- Maintaining alignment between design, documentation and construction
Without a clear and coordinated approach, there was a risk of delays or rework during delivery.
A proactive, solutions-focused approach
We worked closely with the SDA team from the early stages to establish a clear and practical pathway through the certification process.
Our focus was on enabling the design while maintaining compliance. We supported the project through:
- Early, solution-focused advice provided during the design phase
- Clear and consistent communication across all stakeholders
- A practical understanding of construction, alongside regulatory requirements
This approach helped simplify a complex process and provided clarity across a multi-disciplinary project team.
