Luxton Carlingford comes to life

It is always satisfying to see five years of hard work come to life in a real, living building. The beautiful Luxton Carlingford is now complete, and residents are moving in. Dickson Rothschild has been the Architect and Urban Planner for this project from the development application through to the construction certificate and now completion.

Celebrating Successful Approval with Place Studio for this Roseville Multi-Residential Development

Dickson Rothschild’s Urban Design team played a crucial role in reimagining the original design. By transforming a bulky building into separate wings and incorporating an atrium, we improved circulation, light, and the overall outlook. Our approach focused on how the development integrates with the area's evolving character and enhances views of the nearby park.

Thanks to a smooth Section 34 agreement, we avoided a potentially lengthy and costly process at the Land and Environment Court, enabling a more efficient path forward for this exciting project that aligns with Ku-ring-gai Council’s Alternative TOD Plan, which is now being adopted into their DCP.

Shaping Sydney’s Future Under NSW’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy

The transformative impact of NSW’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing (LMR) policy is now clearly visible across Sydney.

Dickson Rothschild is currently involved in more than a dozen projects—proposed, consented, and under construction—across some of the city’s most sought-after locations. Through our planning and design expertise, we are helping to deliver high-quality housing outcomes that respond to evolving density targets while respecting local character and amenity.

From early feasibility and planning through to approvals and delivery, our team is working closely with clients and authorities to realise well-designed, liveable and sustainable housing in line with the LMR framework.

Enhancing Industrial Proposals through Urban Design

Urban design can play a crucial role in the success of industrial development proposals. A notable example is the recent victory by Kennards Self Storage in the Land and Environment Court. In close collaboration with the client and design architect, beneficial modifications were made to the design regarding landscaping, setbacks, building height, and facades, enabling approval for what will be a significantly expanded facility in Miranda’s industrial valley.

Western Sydney Aerotropolis: Advancing Urban Development with ESR Kect

Our successful collaboration with ESR, a global leader in industrial development, has secured Development Approval for a cutting-edge warehouse and distribution centre in the heart of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis. This facility spans over 13,000 sqm and is strategically situated in an area designated for such industrial uses, minimising conflicts with residential developments.

Our urban design team has focused on enhancing the site’s entrance to address the council’s concerns about visual impact and landscaping. Despite meeting all planning requirements, the client had to seek court approval for the scheme.

This project represents one of two significant ESR developments in the Aerotropolis, with another larger facility currently in the court process. With our strong ties to the region, we look forward to further contributing to the sustainable growth and vibrancy of Greater Western Sydney.
