Uniting Edinglassie
Creating positive environments designed for lasting community value.
We have extensive experience creating livable communities of different sizes, densities, and typologies in the public and private sectors. Our projects have strong market appeal and bring lasting value to the community.
Our work ranges from small infill developments to large master-planned communities. Our collaborations with property developers and operators offer a unique perspective.
Our designs are rooted in a deep understanding of operational models, considering shifting demographics, intergenerational living, community integration, and sustainability.
We specialise in designing build-to-rent apartments, senior living communities, aged care facilities, student accommodation and social housing.
We have a longstanding history in designing and delivering significant social and affordable housing, including the proposed State Significant Development for 744 mixed-tenure residential and social housing apartments of equitable scale, design and amenity at Eden St, Arncliffe.
We have delivered multiple projects for Homes NSW, formerly the NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC). We’re very proud of our design for Australia’s first mixed-tenure, build-to-sell and social housing initiative for Anglicare.
Our studio’s expertise in delivering high-quality, socially responsible developments has earned recognition from the NSW Planning Department, and its Homes NSW Chester Hill project is acknowledged for its exemplary design.
We have proven expertise and experience in delivering 6-Star Green Star communities.
