A successful HDA declaration for Tweed Heads!

Using the HDA pathway, we achieved significant uplift for the site, doubling the project from 135 to 270 apartments.

An outstanding outcome that includes affordable housing and supports the local community.

Another successful HDA EOI submitted!

We’re well-versed in negotiating with the state government to deliver these approvals with significant uplift. In this project in Parramatta, we were able to increase the floor space area by 50%.

Whilst a car park is typically thought of as a grey, utilitarian structure, the Picton Car Park invites a more careful and considered approach.

As the project nears its end, our team has tested an array of paint colours that align with Picton’s red-brick heritage buildings. We believe providing a little extra care can make the expansive 130-metre, 230-space car park not only functional but beautiful and respectful. This way, the car park recedes into the background despite its size, allowing the historic surroundings to shine.

We’ve tested the samples above in direct, indirect, and shaded sunlight conditions, utilising several renders to visualise the building and ensure an appropriate outcome. We can’t wait to see the final result!

If you have a commercial project and need some advice, reach out on 02 9090 4678 – we’re happy to discuss over coffee.

A fantastic morning at the Sydney Build Expo, where Jesse led an engaging and interactive presentation exploring the significance of collaboration in architecture.

“Beautiful buildings are made through collaboration” — a simple idea that sparked meaningful discussion, with every voice in the room heard and contributing to the conversation.

We’re also proud to have our work featured in the Architects Hub at the Expo, sharing our approach alongside a broad community of practices shaping the built environment.

Thank you to everyone who participated and brought such great energy to the session.

Swipe to see the transformation of our 11 boutique Bondi Apartments, where we've achieved a 30% uplift on the existing development!

Through the State Government’s LMR planning bonuses for sites within 800m of a town centre, we’ve increased both height and GFA while improving the overall design quality.

At Lockhart-Krause Architects, we’re well-versed in navigating the approvals process to achieve considerable uplift in multi-residential dwellings.

For enquiries on apartment projects, we’re happy to have a chat over coffee. Reach out at [email protected].

Beautiful buildings are made through collaboration.

This week, the team travelled to Picton to oversee construction progress alongside Kane Constructions. At the moment, we’re pouring the last areas of concrete - not long to go until the 150m-long commercial project is complete.

We enjoy collaborating with builders throughout construction as team players, realising practical outcomes. Swipe to see the behind-the-scenes moments that make this architecture possible.

A big thank you to the client Wollondilly Shire Council and Kane Constructions Pty Ltd for the continued hard work 🔨

Proud to be part of this conversation.

A big part of my journey has come from stepping outside the comfort zone early, learning how to deal with people, pressure, and real-world challenges. Those experiences shape you more than anything you’ll learn behind a desk.

If you’re starting out, don’t overthink it. Put yourself in environments that push you. You’ll grow faster than you expect.

Thanks Martin for the chat and for having me on The Building Talks Podcast.
