New Edge Studio

New Edge Studio is a Footscray-based Melbourne practice combining building design, drafting, town planning and property-development support. Its portfolio covers single and double-storey homes, sloping sites, renovations and extensions, dual occupancies, multi-unit developments, commercial projects, apartments and mixed-use work. The studio works with homeowners as well as investors and development clients, adjusting the design and approval pathway to suit the site and project objective.

Design begins with the land and the client brief. A single dwelling may focus on layout, light, appearance and everyday use, while a sloping or constrained site requires closer coordination between building form, access and levels. Renovations need a clear relationship between retained and proposed work. Development projects bring planning controls, site yield, parking and shared or private space into the conversation earlier so the proposal can be tested before detailed documentation is prepared.

Services include building design, town planning, construction plans, project management and permitting, and high-definition 3D visualisation. Once the concept is established, drawings can be developed for planning and construction while relevant approval tasks and consultants are coordinated. Visualisation gives clients a clearer understanding of the building form and can support communication on development projects before major technical decisions are locked in.
