Located on a leafy street in Mount Waverley, this project involves 2 townhouses- one of which is designed for the Clients to live in while the other would be either rented out or sold. The site is located in close proximity to schools, shops and public transport- which makes this project a great offering for young growing families. The Clients wanted dwellings that are spacious and practical to suit the changing needs of young families.

The houses occupy a significant lot on residential street backing on to local garden reserve and sports oval. The houses are terraced into the sloping terrain. Internal stepping and terraced landscaping create meaningful spaces indoors & outdoors. The house design utilises site orientation and surrounding features to its benefit. Living spaces, bedrooms and outdoor courtyards are positioned to capture sunlight. Upstairs retreat areas have access to deep balconies that frame views to sports oval. Double height void with sculptural lights in entry space of one of the dwellings creates feeling of 'awe' and joy while tall raked ceilings in main bedrooms with tall windows create a sense of comfort.

The exterior finishes palette for these houses is composed of natural timber, metal and pre-finished cladding for ease of maintenance and longevity. Interiors have a sharp and sophisticated feel whilst keeping it robust and easy to use that can cope up with the everyday demands of a busy young family.
