Designing for Whitehorse: A heritage of trees and transformation
The City of Whitehorse is famous for its "urban forest" character and its blend of historical significance with rapid modern growth. Navigating this landscape requires an architect who understands the delicate balance between high-density development and the preservation of the suburban canopy.
Whether you are looking to build a contemporary masterpiece or extend a classic brick veneer home, Dean McCredden brings extensive experience in working with the Whitehorse City Council. We specialise in navigating the Significant Landscape Overlays and Tree Protection Zones that are central to the planning process in this municipality.
Our tailored services
We provide a full spectrum of architectural services designed to meet the specific demands of Whitehorse residents and developers:
Custom Family Homes: Designing spacious, light-filled residences that cater to multi-generational living and modern lifestyles.
Sensitive Extensions: Modernising period homes in areas like Mitcham and Box Hill South while respecting the original neighborhood character.
Dual-Occupancy & Townhouse Developments: Maximising the potential of your allotment through design-led, high-yield solutions that pass through council smoothly.
Sustainable Design Excellence: Utilising passive heating and cooling techniques to create homes that are energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.
Planning & Building Permits: Comprehensive management of the Town Planning process, ensuring your project meets local height, setback, and amenity requirements.
The Dean McCredden Architect approach
We believe that architecture should be an extension of the environment. In Whitehorse, this means designing homes that "breathe" - incorporating internal courtyards, strategic window placement for cross-ventilation, and seamless transitions to outdoor garden spaces.
Our process is defined by transparency and collaboration. We work closely with you to ensure that every square meter of your design serves a purpose, turning constraints like sloping blocks or restrictive overlays into unique design features that add value to your property.
