About

At BY Projects Architecture we embrace a quality design approach with client collaboration throughout the Design and Construction process. From Site Selection, Feasibility Studies, Urban Design and Master Planning, through all Design, Interior Design and Documentation stages for private and public sector developments, we offer total Project Management services, endeavouring to fully realise the client’s vision.

We are highly skilled Architects with a diverse and extensive range of project experience. We have a strong focus on Sustainability, Accessibility and Affordability and a commitment to Innovative Construction Technologies with practical deployment.

We are able to provide expertise for a vast selection of service including creative Conceptual Designs, Feasibility studies, Community Consultation, and Master planning. In essence, BY Projects Architecture is a design-based practice which offers innovative solutions to architectural environments. An architectural design is more than a drawing or a budget. The design of any construction must reflect the client’s aspirations as well as the community it will join. We believe in a collaborative approach to all projects and are committed to every aspect of our design, following a project with close architect consultancy and project management throughout each stage.

The BY Projects Architecture Team

From the first meeting with project leaders, BY Projects presents a detailed work program for all stages to ensure target dates are achieved. Included in this would be an allowance for the consultation process and responding to all stakeholders.

The Principal Architect of BY Projects would participate as the project leader in the head consultant group, coordinating all phases and organising all client responses. The team is then able to mobilise and allocate resources to commence design services on projects immediately on request.

BY Projects offer a consultative team approach to all projects, and propose the use of the additional consultant groups including the services of: Planning Consultants, Traffic Consultants, Surveyors, Quantity Surveyors, Building Surveyors, Geotechnical Engineers, Energy Consultants, Structural Engineers, and Services Engineers incorporating Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Services, Hydraulics, and Lift services.

The project team is led by Barbara Yerondais, who strongly believes in a collaborative approach to all projects and has nearly 30 years of professional experience.`

Services

BY Projects Architecture offer a range of services, from early Feasibility Studies through to Construction, complete with total Project Management.

We are committed to a social purpose; and through the coalition of technical, aesthetic and economic forces, we seek to provide innovative and sustainable solutions. We endeavour to ensure that our designs are brought to completion on time and on budget.

Our designs are a response to both the client’s aspirations and the site conditions, with an emphasis on designing for Sustainability and good Urban Design principles. All our designs are given careful consideration as to appropriate construction methods, location, scale and economic expectations.

Feasibility
Studies

A thoroughly prepared Feasibility or Yield Study will set the potential development for a given project. It will clarify the marketing parameters and establish the process of obtaining development approvals, and most importantly, the budget can be established and profitability levels predicted.

At BY Projects, we advise that Feasibility Study be prepared for most developments prior to embarking on full consultation services, with the scope of a Feasibility Study can vary depending on the project.

The simplest of residential renovations will require preliminary advice to establish a scope of work, an appropriate budget, and an assessment of planning scheme restrictions.

A more complex feasibility studies will assess the yield of potential developments against the planning scheme requirements, together with processing marketing data and assessing the risks associated with large-scale projects.

Master Planning

A detailed and well considered Master Plan gives due consideration to all aspects of a designed environment.

Designed environments must embrace an inclusive Urban Design Principles, and reflect the community intent. Building relationships and scale are critical, whilst landscaping elements will also enhance all built environments.

Good Master Planning will also consider construction programming and staging, including site accessibility and material procurement.

At BY Projects, we ensure all Master Plans reflect the Developers funding, whilst presenting innovative design principles.

I highly recommmend the team at BY Architecture.

Barbara, Howard and the team designed a wonderful extension to my late 1960s Melbourne home, ran the tender process to find me a builder, and superintended the build contract.

The design process that Barbara took me through was comprehensive, well-considered and highly collaborative, and the resulting extension and renovation was incredibly well-tailored to my specific needs and desires.

The tender process was similarly well-run, and we ended up choosing a builder that Barbara had worked with many times before and recommended. The recommendation was a great one and the entire build ran very smoothly, with the many quirks arising in a typical renovation being dealt with intelligently and with no fuss.

During the entire time I worked with them, Barbara and her team went over-and-above to keep me happy. As a result of their attention to detail and their focus on customer service, they ensured that what can often be a stressful time was actually a pleasure. I cannot thank them enough and would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Barbara and the BY Projects team were fantastic to work with for our knockdown-rebuild. We had no idea what we were doing or getting ourselves in for, and through every stage of the process Barbara explained everything and was supportive and transparent.
She drew plans for a beautiful house for us which fulfilled everything we wanted while adding such flair and style that we never could have imagined ourselves.
I was so glad to have her and her team on my side throughout the build process, as we would have struggled to advocate for ourselves (or even notice) mistakes or defects by the builder.
Overall, we just couldn’t be happier with the final result.

Thank you for your enthusiasm Emily. And thank you for trusting us with your dream Home. It's been a pleasure working with you and your family, and we trust you will enjoy your home for the years to come.

We were in a very difficult position after a VCAT rejection. Barbara came into our project and reimagined what was possible with our property. Going from a house with three shops with significantly reduced value to a development with two town houses, a cafe and all able to be subdivided into three separate properties. Barbara was positive, enthusiastic, charming at planning meeting and all in all kept us positive and hopeful. Barbara went through the whole process with us and I would say went above and beyond what would generally be expected. She worked well with our development team, working out strategies for planning challenges. We are very thankful for her time and energy.

We engaged Barbara and her team many times over many years for our Building Development Projects, including Multi Residential, Child Care and Mixed Use. Most recently for a couple of houses in Port Melbourne with complex Heritage Overlay requirements.

Barbara worked with us closely to ensure all design requirements were achieved to exceed market expectations. All permit requirements were managed in a professional and timely manner, and all processes were met on time and on budget.

The finished buildings were outstanding and the realized sales well above market expectations.

We highly recommend BY Projects Architecture for their Design sense and construction experience.

I have worked with Barbara and the team at BY Projects on a number of projects now. Its hard to think how you could get better value for money. They are great architects - that goes without saying. But its the extra mile they go to on your behalf in order to secure the very best for you that makes all the difference. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for your next project.
