Renders prepared by Jakaan Architects
Jakaan Architects was approached by a developer to revitalise and enhance an existing DA-approved development in Port Macquarie, based on our expertise in securing approvals for other complex apartment projects in the region. With the original DA close to lapsing, our team was engaged to redesign the building, modernise it to align with market expectations, and increase the apartment yield to maximise the site's potential. Our scope included a full redesign of the exterior architecture, interior layouts, and comprehensive documentation for construction.
This project was located adjacent to Town Beach with its stunning ocean views and a prime beachfront location, the site offered the perfect opportunity to create a high-end residential and mixed-use development. The redesign followed SEPP 65 design guidelines, focusing on optimising natural light, ventilation, and modern living standards, all while preserving the site's due east orientation to maximise sunlight and ocean breezes.
While Jakaan Architects fully documented the project for construction, the developer ultimately decided to sell the site before proceeding with construction. Our detailed documentation ensured the project was ready for construction, adding significant value to the site for future developers.
This project highlights Jakaan Architects' ability to not only maximise yield and optimise designs but also respond quickly to market demands and planning timelines. Our expertise in balancing design excellence with planning compliance ensured that the development was both functional and appealing, perfectly suited to its prime beachfront location in Port Macquarie.
