The Design Partnership –TDP - is an urban design studio providing creative and cost-effective solutions for the built environment. Our services are focused on improving the quality of life in our urban places.
Collaboration underscores our approach to urban design. As our name suggests, we believe urban design is a partnership: between ourselves and our clients, allied professionals, project stakeholders, communities, government authorities and their environments. It’s important to us that our urban design projects pass muster and delight all players.
Small but beautiful
We’re a small team and, although we’re multi-talented (and modest!) we can’t do everything - so we sometimes operate under what we call a ‘fluid teams’ approach. While many urban design projects easily fit our in-house expertise and experience, some may occasionally warrant the voices of other specialists.
No design consultancy can presume to have an in-house group of people who are all at the very top of their game. With some providers, your project may be left at the mercy of interns, lesser players and perhaps over-worked individuals who may not really be able to focus their best attention on your needs. In the end, you may not get what you were hoping for.
Clients and projects are unique
If your project is one that does require other specialist input, our fluid team’s approach will see the collaboration of one or more trusted experts. For another client, we may involve a completely different set of people – but they will always have a proven track record for excellence. Fluid teams – its how we deliver the quality you expect.
Specialists that we might sometimes engage may contribute expertise in:
Architectural Documentation
Public Art and Cultural Planning
Social and Economic Planning
Indigenous issues and requirements
Environmental and Bushfire Assessment
Project Management and Cost Consultancy Services
