A beautifully recently-finished contemporary duplex, built by the talented Big8 Group, Sydney. This architect-designed attached split-level dual occupancy features four courtyards, two internal atriums, and a stunning double-height rear living area in each dwelling and side private internal swimming pools. Thoughtfully designed and built, it showcases the high-end standard inclusions that define our custom-designed duplexes.

This is what a first design meeting sketch really looks like. Not a draftsperson. Not a building designer.

A registered Architect with 30 years’ experience.

Upcoming Granny Flat Wahroonga NSW.

Hi, I’m Ib Conlon, Registered Architect. I’m the in-house architect working with one of Sydney’s largest granny flat builders, designing and reviewing countless secondary dwellings every year.

If you’re planning a granny flat now or in the near future, I can review your land and give clear, honest advice upfront. With direct access to certifiers, consultants, and fixed-price builders, we move quickly from sketch to CDC approval—without wasted time or redesigns.

ISC Design specialises in CDC-approved granny flats under SEPP 2021 (Housing).

We produce approval-ready documentation that meets NSW planning controls first time—because we understand how CDC rules are applied in real approvals, not just how they’re written.
In 2025–26, CDC compliance is tightening around setbacks, open space, height, overlays, and dwelling relationships.

Non-compliance = delays, extra cost, rework.
We design for approval, not just appearance.

We don’t gamble with approvals. We design to pass.

ANOTHER incredible DA approval for Architect-Designed secondary dwelling sitting on sloping site.

A combination of a great, patient client, quality design & documentation and a flexible council assessing officer got us this excellent result. 8 weeks in council which is not too bad!

Thanks to Parramatta Council

Architect-Designed Duplex; Another successful newly-finished Courtyard Duplex in Sydney; Came-up quite nice especially the interior spaces.

This duplex goes to auction tomrw-and has a nice plan with a central lightwell/courtyard allowing natural light and air to flood the ground floor spaces; Something rarely-seen in duplex design and this is what differentiates an Architect-Designed Duplex-apart from the countless building-designer/draftsman-designed duplexes. Good design by a (real) Architect-not a wanna be-makes sense.

North Kellyville Courtyard Dwelling- Nearing completion.

This house, now finalising construction in North Kellyville, sits on a sloping site, on 2 levels with basement garage and wraps around a lovely east-facing 2 storey courtyard with pool and tree that brings lovely light & air into the core of the home especially on these chilly winter days-when you most need it.

Inside, four generous bedrooms with study and an attached home business and four bathrooms are arranged around central living spaces that flow seamlessly into two courtyards and a rear alfresco entertaining area with pool.
