Urban Design
Rowe Group provides urban design services that help shape functional, attractive and sustainable places.
Project: Honeywood
Our urban design team works closely with planners, architects and developers to create thoughtful design outcomes that respond to the surrounding context while supporting planning objectives and community needs.
From early concept development through to detailed design frameworks, our team integrates planning and design to help guide successful development outcomes.
What is Urban Design?
Urban design focuses on the arrangement and design of buildings, streets, open spaces and infrastructure to create well-functioning and attractive places.
It bridges the gap between planning strategy and architectural design, helping to shape how communities grow and how people experience the built environment.
Good urban design considers factors such as movement networks, public spaces, built form, landscape integration and sustainability to deliver places that are both practical and enjoyable to live and work in.
