Acreage Property Architects
Designing for acreage properties brings unique opportunities — and unique challenges. From bushfire requirements and stormwater management to creating a sense of intimacy on a large site, Elo Architecture specialises in tailoring homes to expansive landscapes across Sydney’s North Shore, Northern Beaches, and surrounding regions.
Designing for Acreage Living
Living on acreage is about space, connection to the landscape, and long-term sustainability. Our designs balance:
Indoor–outdoor flow and generous entertaining areas.
Orientation for natural light and energy efficiency.
Materials that age gracefully in rural or semi-rural settings.
Navigating Complex Approvals
Acreage properties often fall under stricter planning frameworks, including:
Bushfire zones (BAL ratings)
On-site wastewater management
Stormwater and overland flow studies
Ecological and biodiversity overlays
We coordinate the right consultants early so approvals are smooth and no detail is missed.
