About our aspirations
Glyde_Bautovich are architects, urban designers and planners who work together and separately to transform resources, regulations, programs, and ideas into places of beauty.
We believe in the ‘spirit of place’ or genius loci and passionately engage in the art of making meaningful places of distinctive character through a careful process.
We research and analyse client aspirations, economics, demographics, urban structure, history, building typologies and appropriate precedents.
We re-use and revisit these layers that are beneath the surface to inform an appropriate outcome.
The place becomes a palimpsest set within its context.
The experience of the public space, what makes the city or place stick together, becomes rich, activated and vital.
Our analysis feeds into the architectural process which becomes form driven whereby we mould the fabric of the building to engage with nature, capture light and air, in a way that we know will lead to joyful inhabitation.
We breath in information, aspirations and breath out a new space or building as an offering to the people of the city and those who occupy them.

Strategic Urban Context Analysis
Minerva Road, Wedderburn, Southwest Sydney
Glyde_Bautovich were engaged to review the potential for a rural-residential subdivision of a 50 Hectare lot in Wedderburn, a suburb 8km to the south of Campbelltown centre and immediately east of the Gilead Growth Precinct, in Sydney’s southwest. The Greater Marcarthur Plan 2040 notes that Gilead could provide up to 15,000 homes set in a scenic landscape. Significant infrastructure will be required for this new precinct.
The subject land has been largely cleared for rural purposes and a new local neighbourhood centre is identified in the Campbelltown Draft Local Planning Statement. The new 3.2m Wedderburn Bridge was completed this year and provides an easy 8 minute drive to Campbelltown.
The Greater Sydney Commission, responsible for metropolitan planning in Sydney identifies the site as being part of the Metropolitan Rural Zone in the new Western District Plan. This zone is largely to remain a rural zone, however low density rural-residential may be permissible. A submission was lodged with Council to consider the large lot subdivision proposal in the context of this analysis.
