From sketch to council. Single point of contact.
Icono delivers building-design services across five sectors · residential, commercial, multi-residential, interior design and shop-front fitouts. Every project is run by Rod with Jared in support. No outsourced documentation, no junior layer between you and the senior designer.
Residential design.
New family homes, period A&A work, rural residences and the occasional weekend retreat · across Wagga, the Riverina and well beyond.
The bulk of Icono's work, and the part we've been honing for two decades. From a tight-budget extension on a Wagga suburban block to a long, low rural residence on a hundred-acre site · same care, same senior hands.
What's included
- Site investigation, brief development, feasibility check
- Concept design with sun/aspect and budget rationale
- Design development, materials and finishes
- Council documentation, DA preparation and submission
- Construction documentation for tender or selected builder
- Consultant coordination · engineer, energy rater, certifier
Commercial design.
Schools, professional rooms, retail fitouts, light industrial. BCA and disability compliance resolved in-house through documentation.
Commercial work calls for a different rhythm · staged delivery around live operations, tighter compliance, more parties at the table. Icono has delivered education refurbishments, professional fitouts and retail work across Wagga and the Riverina.
What's included
- Site and existing-building assessment
- Concept design with operational/staging logic
- BCA & disability access compliance (in-house)
- Council DA documentation & submission
- Construction documentation for tender
- Delivery sequencing for live-site operation
Multi-Residential & investment.
Dual-occupancy through to eight-unit developments for private investors and small developers across the Riverina.
A returns-led brief is still a design brief. Lot yield, build cost, leasability, streetscape · they all interact. Icono has delivered multi-residential work for repeat investor clients, with a track record of designs that lease quickly and hold tenancy.
What's included
- Yield study and feasibility against council controls
- Concept design balanced for returns & livability
- DA documentation and council liaison
- Subdivision-friendly planning (where applicable)
- Construction documentation for builder tender
- Consultant coordination through to handover
Interior design.
Material palettes, joinery detail, lighting layout and finishes · documented to the same standard as the shell.
The inside of a building decides whether you actually want to live or work in it. Icono provides interior design as a connected service · either alongside a new build, or as a standalone refresh on an existing space.
What's included
- Brief development & existing-space audit
- Spatial planning, joinery and lighting layout
- Material & finish palette, hardware spec
- Detailed joinery and feature documentation
- Supplier/builder liaison through documentation
- Optional FF&E and procurement support
Shop-Front & retail fitouts.
Lease fitouts, brand-aligned refreshes and full retail rebuilds · designed to land quickly and to landlord approval.
Retail and hospitality fitouts run on tight timelines and tighter lease deadlines. Icono designs and documents shop-front fitouts that pass landlord review the first time and get on with the build · without losing the design intent.
What's included
- Lease & landlord-guide review
- Brand-aligned concept design
- Shop-front, signage and joinery detail
- Landlord approval documentation
- Construction documentation for shop fitter
- Council DA where required
