Precision Architectural Drafting & Practical Spatial Design
Stars Architectural Design & Drafting provides premier residential and commercial architectural design, technical drafting, and statutory permit documentation throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Founded on Drafting Accuracy & Integrity
Stars Architectural Design & Drafting was founded by Andrew Novak, a seasoned architectural professional with more than 25 years of extensive practice across Victoria. Based at 26 Turner Street in Pascoe Vale South, our practice is recognized for delivering technical drawing packages that balance aesthetic sophistication with constructability.
In Victoria, navigating town planning overlays, ResCode compliance (Clause 54 and Clause 55), and Building Code of Australia (BCA) provisions can be intricate. We approach every design with deep statutory knowledge, ensuring that the visual concepts we craft translate seamlessly into council-approved, builder-ready documentation.
Rather than imposing a rigid house style, we work collaboratively with each client. Whether designing a contemporary custom residence, an articulated dual-occupancy development, a heritage extension in Brunswick, or a light-filled outdoor pavilion, our focus remains on spatial efficiency, natural light, and structural clarity.
