Class 2 Architect Sydney | Compliant Design for Residential Developments

Design with confidence. Build with certainty.

Eoin Architects is a registered Class 2 architect based in Sydney, delivering compliant design and documentation for apartments, dual occupancies, townhouses, and mixed-use buildings across the Northern Beaches and North Shore.

If you're planning a Class 2 development in Sydney or surrounding areas, we help you navigate the complexities of NSW’s Design and Building Practitioners Act while creating practical, buildable designs.

What Is a Class 2 Building?

Class 2 buildings are defined by the National Construction Code as residential buildings that contain two or more sole-occupancy units — most commonly apartment complexes, townhouses, and dual occupancies.

Under NSW law, Class 2 projects must now be designed by a registered Design Practitioner and submitted with regulated documentation to meet strict compliance standards.

‘Eoin is a different kind of architecture practice. We're fuelled by imaginative design, crafting spaces that inspire and change lives.'
