Planning approval issued for for this duplex in Miami. The project team worked closely with Council to ensure the reduced side boundary setbacks would provide an acceptable level of privacy for future occupants and neighbours.

The design of this duplex responds to the flood overlay present over the site, with the area beneath the driveway and garages to be filled above the flood level and the remainder of the structure suspended on piers to allow floodwaters to enter beneath the dwellings via battened cladding.

A Minor Change to the original building envelope for this lot was required to accommodate this beautiful home as well as the necessary on-site wastewater treatment system. Through many negotiations with Council, HPC were successful in expanding the building envelope to incorporate the house, retaining walls, a future shed and the driveway. The Minor Change also saw the effluent area envelope shifted more towards the rear. This avoided conflict with existing stormwater infrastructure and provided greater flexibility for the house design.
