Why Design With Sorensen Design?
Since our inception in 2002, we have designed hundreds of home designs in Newcastle, from fresh new house plans and renovations to duplexes and even small deck extensions. No project is too complex or outlandish for us. We have a multi-disciplinary team that can tackle projects of all shapes and sizes, including council approvals and discussions with other professionals like private certifiers, surveyors and home energy rating officials.
We are incredibly passionate about what we do, and our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional results on time, on brief and on budget! Our designers will listen to your design aspirations and put them on paper (or a 3D render) — the key to success is communication and collaboration from day one until the project is 100% complete and we’ve handed over the keys.

Brilliantly designed, eco-friendly home designs in Newcastle
We believe modern home designs in Newcastle should be as environmentally friendly as they are beautiful. With this in mind, our director Adrian Sorensen has achieved structural engineering qualifications to ensure your new home will look sensational and function seamlessly while maintaining an excellent home energy rating.
Sorensen Design & Planning is HIA GreenSmart Accredited, meaning we focus on improving our home designs' water and energy efficiency and creating healthier homes for our clients.
Other fundamental principles include home designs with environmental features like:
Correct site orientation to maximise solar principles
Natural ventilation
Insulation and thermal mass
Flooring.
In the planning phase of our project, we will discuss various environmental factors and how a few small changes can make a big difference to water and power bills, and how you can minimise your carbon footprint in the long term.

3D building software
To deliver our architectural home designs in Newcastle, we utilise ArchiCAD's latest 3D building design software. This innovative software allows us to design, visualise, document and deliver new home designs in the form of high-resolution 3D images — we can even provide a walkthrough of your new home and visualise the completed work before we have even begun construction.
You can see the textures, colours, materials and finishes for your new home, so you can make changes and decisions before a single brick has been laid. Plus, we provide a fast, thorough and efficient service with same-day quotations. We place a high value on responsiveness and are passionate about what we do.

Testimonials
“I would highly recommend the team at Sorensen Design. Adrian and Scott were sensitive to the heritage requirements of this property and were a pleasure to work with. The brief was far from straightforward, but their professionalism, expertise and hard work ensured it ran smoothly. We couldn't be happier with their design for the original building as well as the contrasting modern addition. Thank you!”
