Ecotect Architects have wide ranging experience in the development of subdivision development plans. Our personal experience in the design of high quality residential, commercial and mixed-use spaces with a strong focus on energy and water efficiency has been a key ingredient in the design of several successful and desirable residential subdivisions.

The first step is to make sure that the road layouts and orientation opens up the opportunity for maximized passive solar design in a subdivision.  This means our practice must be involved before the planners and engineers start detailed work on the concept.  The initial concept layout should be prepared from the survey drawing prior to the first project meeting.

From thereon prudent coordination of the consultants is the secret to success.  Once the layout is decided and the block sizes and shape settled to the satisfaction of the practice, the structure plan can proceed to subdivision approval.

The ecological approach not only looks at the solar design aspects but the preservation or damage minimization of the natural ecology of the area, water management, including harvesting of rain water and recycling grey water to assist the irrigation of the public open landscaped spaces and street landscape.

• 1998,  Block layouts and recommended layouts for Land Corp for Clarkson, WA
• 2006,  Armadale Redevelopment Authority - Champion Lakes and Champion Drive residential subdivisions and Forestdale Industrial precinct.
• 2007,  China Green estate, Subiaco for the SRA and EPRA, in association with Gresley Abas and Taylor Burrell Barnett

Every project is different and incurs different fees.  The practice will work on a time charge basis at the advisory or early concept stage and then be able to quote a fixed sum once the scope of work is ascertained.

The cost is negligible compared to the civil works needed to develop most land subdivisions.  With sustainability being the guiding principles in a more comprehensive manner, expertise by Ecotect-Architect is a sound investment in any land subdivision project
