The advantages of these five handsome terrace houses are many and varied. These homes are part of the Richmond development located in Mt Wellington. A new medium-density community, close to transport and shopping, that enjoys shared amenities, such as a gym and five landscaped pocket parks. The terraced block, clad in warm brick and black metal corrugate, has a much longer list of benefits, including offering two-, three- and four-bedroom units with or without garages. The material palette and repeated forms are sympathetic to the existing surrounding development and varying facades add personality to each home. While individuality is not always associated with terrace houses, it’s a hallmark of this urban village with its stylish aesthetic. Another important benefit of these homes is that they’ve been skilfully and thoughtfully constructed. They’re well-insulated, light-filled and quiet, thanks to the smart design, orientation on the site and sound inter-tenancy walls. The homes offer open-plan kitchens, dining and living spaces with sliders that open straight onto a sun-filled patio. Bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the upper level, and in the larger homes the main bedrooms also contain ensuites.
