Our Story

OUR DIRECTOR

MEET THE DIRECTOR, GORAN LAZAROVSKI

Goran is an award-winning building designer, who previously founded a high-volume building design firm focused on producing town planning applications in Melbourne. While it allowed for extensive growth and experience with thousands of dwellings designed and approved by local councils and major builders, it was just a stepping-stone for the latest venture for Goran, and the formation of Lazarovski Design.

Lazarovski Design has evolved into a boutique building design firm focused on supporting individual projects in Melbourne and Victoria, thrive with attention to detail and experience not found anywhere else. We’ve had the opportunity to help businesses, investors, and individuals with dual occupancy designs or multi-unit developments that truly enhance communities and make a local impact.

Goran studied Building Design at Victoria University and Architecture at Deakin University. He is also a registered builder with the Victorian Building Authority and holds memberships with all the highest institutions.

IN GORAN’S WORDS:

“Throughout my career the challenges of every project, along with the demand to squeeze more into each project, has given me the skills to maximise every millimeter from every site. Every project allows me to push the envelope and the boundaries for each site and I truly enjoy finding the grey areas in the design world and leveraging them in ways that help our clients.”

“As a registered builder in Victoria I’ve developed many properties over the last 18 years. This hands-on experience and full-development process allows me to better understand the challenges of time constraints, building complications and setbacks, and unforeseen circumstances; and then create smart avenues to continually move forward.”

“ I am experienced in all areas of this amazing process, including design, development, and handing over the project to the client at the end; but I like to consider myself primarily a building designer with an expertise in town planning applications for dual occupancies and multi-unit developments.”

Melbourne’s True Building Design Professionals

Backed by more than 20 years of experience, Lazarovski Design is an exclusive building design firm specialising in Dual Occupancy, Multi-Unit (2-20) and Medium Density Developments (20-50). Our experienced team has designed more than 15,000 dwellings in Melbourne and Victoria, and we boast an astounding 100% approval rating with Melbourne councils in 2022!

As a boutique building design studio, we believe that quality is far more important than quantity. That’s why we focus on providing each individual client and project with the level of detail that it takes to make them successful; no matter the size or scope of the development.

Above all, we believe in establishing real, long-term relationships that go beyond obtaining town planning and building permits and help create sustainable developments that we can all feel proud to be a part of.

Any good business backs up their success rate and customer service with reliable guarantees; especially when they know they provide the best service in town. As such, here at Lazarovski Design we offer guarantee to ensure you get the best possible experience when working with our team.

What we do

Real-World Expertise

We have been fortunate to collaborate with individuals across the region, designing a diverse range of residential developments that have made a big impact locally. In fact, we’ve designed many dwellings to the rear of an existing, knockdown & rebuild, dual occupancy, multi-unit and medium density developments of all shapes and sizes. This has allowed us to truly excel when focused on 2-50 dwellings on a site, which has become our strongest position of design. We are proud to say that we have become “Melbourne’s Specialists in Town Planning & Great Experience for Real Estate”.

Trusted Design Firm

Be it our Dual Occupancy designs, Multi-Unit Developments, or Medium Density projects our highly experienced team takes the same approach every time. We offer end-to-end planning and design solutions that covers every stage from initial sketches through to town planning and building permits, to construction and subdivision (if required).

In other words, we help our clients succeed because we care about every detail and work diligently to ensure nothing is missed from start to finish. What’s more, we accomplish the tasks while strengthening our working relationships at the same time; we’re passionate about helping our partners grow and thrive alongside each new project.

Local Design Studio

Here at Lazarovski Design we maintain that local feel because we’re located right in the heart of South Melbourne. This centralized location allows us better access to all areas of Melbourne and Victoria, but also gives us a better opportunity to connect one-on-one with each client. And whether we’re focused on eco-friendly paperless plans or more traditional printed works, we’ll do whatever it takes to make the process seamless.

Long Term Vision

Plans should fit today, support tomorrow, and be scalable for the future. And here at LAZAROVSKI Design our vision is to maintain a design-focused, family-friendly firm that meets the specific needs of every individual client. We believe every project deserves focused dedication, reliability, and commitment from initial design all the way through to subdivision and occupancy. Overall, we understand that our unique creative design and “outside the box thinking” allow to overcome any challenge and solve any problem because we care about our clients and the outcome.

Optimised Service and Support

Every site requires its own special needs, presents opportunities, and constraints, which means every project gets our full focus. And because no two jobs are alike, we never create cookie-cutter plans.
We’re passionate about creating room configurations and setups that meet your individual needs. We succeed because we take the time to analyse each situation and leverage our past experiences and success to create something that is truly sustainable.
As a one-stop-shop for all things design, we’ll be there to walk you through the entire planning process. Every drawing, document, design, and tendering process (if required) will be met with efficiency, reliability, and transparency—all to ensure you achieve a successful Town Planning Permit and approved Building Permit so you project can take shape.
Our experience with thousands of builders and unique projects means we know that things change, surprises can pop up, and developments might need to change on the fly. However, our goal is to help reduce the stress by reducing unnecessary time delays and unexpected site costs with smart, sound decisions.
We want to educate you during the process and expedite your project efforts so you can feel confident with every step. Smart, simple, and smooth; this is how we’ll get you from A to Z even if a few bumps are in the road.

Measurable Benefits

Unlike other design teams that focus on carports, pergolas, extensions, new homes or some other project ideas—we solely focus on Dual Occupancies, Multi-Unit and Medium Density designs. This means we’re experts at what we do and known to navigate the entire process.
This focus allows us to work more quickly and efficiently than others in the industry, which is easily found in our architectural experience and the relationships we’ve created with local councils.
For example, while some parts of ResCode are based upon interpretation rather than solid rules, the relationships we’ve created and on experienced in previously approved planning permits allows us to push projects along even when other teams get stuck waiting for approvals.
The local trust we’ve built goes beyond just the design and development process, and often means the difference between an approval and a rejection by council. Our relaxed, compassionate attitude towards clients and council officers helps us exceed even the greatest expectations, because we’re always willing to go the extra mile and do the right thing every time.
We currently offer a 4-part system that covers preliminaries, requirement permits, and all required documentation to commence building. This streamlined system also helps us educate our partners, engage and support builders, and back everything with a money-back guarantee.
