Project

North Melbourne

This is a 425m2 site with a proposal to build eight four level 3-bedroom townhouses on the property.

The site has great access to three streets which means we have pursued a scheme with on grade car parking and the 14m height limit means the townhouses will all be on 50 sqm lots over four levels with 3 beds, 2 baths, 1 car park and a roof deck.

To maximise the amenity of the site we have decreased the site coverage of the current warehouse to allow us to incorporate rear courtyards into all the units. We did this to ensure that all four floors have good access to light. We will also soften these areas through the use of planter boxes and plantings. External spiral staircases to access the roof decks made of perforated metal were also chosen to allow as much light in as possible.

Project

West Melbourne

Measuring 409m2 the site is a north-east facing warehouse with laneway access to the south and east and is around 100m from North Melbourne station.

Our plan is to develop 8 x four-storey townhouses of around 115 sqm of living space onto of a basement carpark.

The design features two floors of bedrooms and two floors of living with a separate kitchen/dining and living floors on the 3rd and 4th level.

The irregularly shaped lot has presented the biggest design challenge, although it has also enabled a unique design response.
