Located within a new subdivision in Melton, the townhouse designs are geared to provide affordable housing without sacrificing contemporary design.
A total of 36 residences with a range of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom typologies are offered over 3 levels, each with concealed undercover parking.
The clever back to back model conceals cars under living area decks, allowing the street façade to be garage free and animated with lively human activity and landscaped gardens.
A raised roof over stairs is a common element, enabling natural light into the middle of all living areas.
The townhouse model provides an alternative residence and cost entry point, particularly geared to first home buyers.
The external façade is articulated with expressed floating steel balconies and bay windows, each providing for some individual expression.
All aspects of Clause 56 Multi-residential Design Guidelines are achieved or exceeded, in a development that delivers maximum yield, yet also an excellent amenity for residents.
