Kooyong sits within the City of Stonnington and is characterised by its heritage properties, established gardens, and architectural significance. Many homes in the suburb fall within heritage overlays or neighbourhood character precincts, which affect what modifications can be made and how renovations must be approached.

Our team maintains current knowledge of all local planning schemes, heritage controls, and design guidelines specific to Kooyong. We understand the importance of respecting the area's character whilst incorporating contemporary luxury elements that enhance your property's value and liveability.

Building permits, planning permissions, and heritage approvals can be complex. We navigate these requirements on your behalf, preparing applications, liaising with council planners, and ensuring all documentation meets regulatory standards. This expertise saves you time, prevents costly mistakes, and provides confidence that your renovation proceeds without unnecessary delays.

For properties within heritage overlays, we design sympathetic additions and alterations that satisfy heritage requirements whilst achieving your functional and aesthetic goals. Our sensitive approach respects historical features whilst introducing modern comfort and convenience.

Kooyong's established nature means many properties have specific site constraints, including setbacks, building envelopes, and vegetation protection requirements. Our planning process carefully considers these factors, ensuring designs that maximise your property's potential within regulatory parameters.
