The housing industry has evolved over the years, and our expectations have grown with it. These stunning three-story townhouses, designed by Dickson Rothschild, are currently being constructed in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. Each townhouse features sustainable passive design, solar panels, EV charging capabilities, internal lifts for convenience, and spacious entertainment decks located above two-car garages. The layouts and designs have been thoughtfully planned to ensure that each townhouse is unique and distinctive.

Dickson Rothschild is pleased to have collaborated with and supported Gosford Council on this exciting initiative. Please take a moment to view Gosford Council’s YouTube vide - CLICK HERE

Dickson Rothschild designed and successfully negotiated a development approval for our Client for this Carlingford multi-residential building. It was demonstrated that the existing planning controls for the site are both aged and no longer appropriate, and the development will give back to the community much-desired housing, an attractive park and open space areas, including the retention of a historically important major tree.

With clever redesign and experienced negotiation, Dickson Rothschild took this project with site legal issues, a bulky design and complicated coastal site issues, and helped to fast track a development consent at Section 34. The result is a high density development offering housing types demanded by the local market, within an attractive street frontage and a human-scale buildings design.

“Dickson Rothschild has been quiet on the social media front, but extremely busy with our clients on development and construction projects.  Here, featured in Urban Developer, are two multi-residential projects of interest in the ever popular area of Carlingford

CLICK HERE

#dicksonrothschild, #urbandeveloper, #multi-residential, #architecture, #caringford, #multiusetowers

The charming Little Gorge Beach House was designed in the 1950’s by eminent modernist architect Robert Dickson. It features a simple pyramidal roof form on a compact holiday house plan.  It is a beautiful state heritage listed item on South Australia’s dramatic Rapid Bay coast.

Dickson Rothschild helped the owners undertake a renovation in 2012 to make the house more usable and to protect the delicate natural environment upon which it resides. Simple and considered design interventions of modernising the bathroom, installing new water and sanitisation systems and upgrading the window shutter materials were implemented.  These small changes have ensured longevity of the Little Gorge Beach House as a holiday home and have retained the building as a much-loved sight for visitors and tourists to the area.

Successful mediation can help avoid lengthy and expensive Court cases.  Dickson Rothschild is often called upon to help navigate this challenging process for development approvals.

Earlier this year, our Managing Director, Nigel Dickson, acted as the Urban Design and Architecture expert to help achieve a successful mediation outcome for this project in Sydney’s east.  We worked with the project architects and planners to revise tower and podium facades, improve lobby entrances and enhance communal open spaces.

#dicksonrothschild, #courtapprovals, #nigeldickson, #urbandesignexpert, #sydney, #successfulmediation, #mediation, #court

We were pleased to have been part of the team achieving a development consent at Court for our Early Learning Centre client in Sydney’s south.  We improved operating efficiency in terms of floor area, and resolved neighbour concerns on street parking and acoustics with considered design solutions.

Dickson Rothschild is often called upon to help navigate the challenging Court process for development approvals. 

We were excited to provide Urban Design expertise to achieve a successful mediation outcome for these four developments by Scape.

In our role, we worked extensively with the four architects of each project, to ensure compliance with the LEP, DCP and the contentions expressed at Court.  Mediation at Court has helped to achieve a rapid consent, as well as design improvements such as introducing through-site links, improving landscape design elements and exploring alternative façades.

Read all about the exciting development on this link:

Our Managing Director, Nigel Dickson, was an Urban Design Expert on this project at Sydney Park.  Nigel’s involvement in the intensive four-month mediation helped to resolve key concerns from the City of Sydney around separation between buildings, setbacks, and height and bulk.

The successful mediation delivered a desirable outcome for both parties and negated the need for a long and expensive court hearing – a great win for all.

Multi-residential towers are always a complex journey with this project being no different.

Significant challenges related to the nearby rail infrastructure were overcome and excellent construction quality delivered – a testament to the dedicated team of Gencorp and Dickson Rothschild.

Together with its striking design and finishes, spacious apartments, and enduring build quality, “The One” is creating a new benchmark for apartment living in rapidly growing Hurstville.

Our Technical Director and Associate, Fergus Cumming, is known for his tenacity to overcome challenges and his attention to detail, and he has successfully navigated this journey many times with our clients.  He has achieved this yet again for the “The One”.

Set amongst the edgy urban street setting of Inner West Sydney, Brick Lane is hard to miss. 

Its design is conscious of the creative, work-live character of the neighbourhood and it is built on sustainably-minded feature. Attractive articulated façades, massing sensitive to its surrounds and a carefully designed through-link to activate the evolving streets of St Peters, make it the perfect addition to the development of the area.

The multi-disciplinary Architecture, Planning, Urban Design and Marketing team at Dickson Rothschild was led by our Managing Director, Nigel Dickson and our Technical Director and Associate, Fergus Cumming.

Congratulations to the project team for a newly consented neighbourhood subdivision in Sydney’s north west growth centre.

The subdivision comprises of 80+ much needed residential lots with a wide range of lot sizes to achieve housing diversity – large lot detached housing coupled with environmental conservation land, small lot detached housing and attached housing.  The masterplan achieves a relatively compact urban form within a low-density zone while managing an important environmental conservation area very near a growing town centre and planned metro rail station.

Infrastructure development has been carefully considered with temporary and permanent solutions so authorities can finalise their road widening and drainage upgrades without relying on the subdivision and visa versa.  

The proposal was fast-tracked through the Land and Environment Court with the full court hearing being adjourned to a S34 hearing when the experts resolved all contentions just days prior to the hearing, resulting in a speedy consent that arrived prior to developer contributions being increased dramatically from 1 July.   

Dickson Rothschild were the Urban Designers and Planners for the project.

The NSW Government’s new Planning System Acceleration Programme announced the first 24 projects to undergo the fast-tracked assessment process on 28 April 2020.  It is one of several responses to keep the economy moving in the challenging COVID-19 pandemic environment.

Projects must meet three essential criteria:

• Does the project create jobs during construction and ongoing?

• Can decision on the project be made quickly? Can the project commence within six months, if DA approval is received or if a planning proposal is successful?

• Can the project strongly deliver or support public benefits?

The process does not only work for ‘big projects’ such as State Significant Developments and Infrastructure projects, major projects, and planning proposals, but for any project that fits the above criteria.

Dickson Rothschild are actively working on accessing the Planning System Acceleration Programme for a number of clients including in Hurstville and on the Central Coast, and for projects ranging from $20m to $200m in construction build.

If you want to discuss your project, please contact our Urban Planning team on 02 8540 8720.

Hill Thalis Architects designed this attractive alterations and additions to an existing shop and residence in Randwick. Our Associate, Urban Planning – Phillip Bull – provided the planning support resulting in a consent in 2018 for improvements to the ground floor space and two apartments in an R2 low Density Residential zone.

The planning arguments were strong enough for Council and the Randwick Planning Panel to agree to a variation to the site floor space control and nil parking for the units. #architecture #residential #buildings #apartments #urbanplanning #planning #property #commercial

As the planner for this 2-storey warehouse and commercial building, designed by Akin Atelier Architects in Rosebery, Dickson Rothschild was instrumental in gaining approval without need for a development application.  Rather approval was coordinated via a Complying Development Certificate in about three months from the first design through to release of the application to commence construction. Architectural design Akin Atelier Architects. #planningadvice, #warehousedevelopment, #commercialbuilding, #complyingdevelopment, #roseberydevelopment

Urban Planning, Law, Valuation and Real Estate Investment & Financing

Thank you Wealth PI, for inviting Dickson Rothschild Associate, Stacy Zhang, to participate in this stimulating round table discussion on the evolution of urban planning, law, valuation and real estate in Australia in light of the current epidemic.

A large audience tuned in to listen to four different perspectives on this topical area, and answers were offered on burning questions, such as:

• Will a more rapid and flexible urban planning guide and approval system evolve after the epidemic?
• Is Australia’s “big infrastructure era” coming?
• Under the “epidemic economy” what are the investment opportunities against the trend?

Our Associate – Phillip Bull – is often working with other architectural practices to provide the planning expertise required for infill opportunities in inner-Sydney. Phil has over twenty-five years of experience in Council and the private sector and excels in these complex projects.

Philip Perrie was the Architect and Dickson Rothschild the Planner for this attractive apartment building in Rose Bay. Our Planning arguments assisted in gaining consent at Waverley Council in early 2020 for five apartments, including three affordable apartments, and for a 55% increase in site floor space.

Dickson Rothschild has an active practice delivering cost effective Planning and Urban Design interventions to gain expedient Council consent. These are often to assist families and small-scale developers on infill opportunities in inner-Sydney.

Working with Bureau SRH on this sensitive three-storey mixed use building in Botany, Dickson Rothschild was responsible for the Planning arguments put to the Bayside Planning Panel to waive the commercial on-site car parking requirements and reduce development contributions.  A consent was received in 2020.

Commissioner Horton of the Land and Environment Court handed down this important judgement in April 2019 giving consent to this Dickson Rothschild designed mixed-use building at this significant site in North Kogarah. Constrained in area by a heritage item, the 29 apartment with basement level retail space and parking provides much needed housing in this area.  Matt Sonter and Kate Marginson of Mills Oakley acted on the matter with Turvey To as Barrister.  This is the fourth recent successful consent received by Dickson Rothschild in North Kogarah. #consentsuccess, #modernapartmentlife, #commercialrealestate #retailrealestate #millsoakley #housing #property #residential #apartment #affordablehousing #commercialproperty #commercial #retailspace #mixeduse

Dickson Rothschild received DA approval for a modern house extension in Bondi Junction. The two-storey rear extension will vastly improve the primary living areas of the house and form a grand new master bedroom with district views. #consentsuccess, #modernhouselife, #modernhousearchitecture, #contemporarysydneylife, #contemporarybondilife, #architecturesydneybeaches, #architecturemodernextension

The far south coast of NSW is close to our heart at Dickson Rothschild and we are offering architecture and planning assistance pro bono to aid in the process of recovery. We hope professional assistance, which could be as straight forward as discussing options or understanding Planning challenges, can aid in the process of recovery at this distressing time.
