The removal of three houses has created a 3233sqm site that now holds a ‘village’ of 23 townhouses comprising 14 two-storey and nine three-storey units across five blocks. A blend of materials provides aesthetically pleasing facades, reduces maintenance and ensures longevity. The building volume is mitigated through the use of different textures of brickwork and fibre-cement cladding, cantilevers to the upper levels, and broken gabled roofs. Red brick contrasts with dark fibre cement on some blocks, white brick and cladding on others. Fencing, specimen trees and shrubs ensure privacy between each dwelling and enhance the communal spaces and car parking areas.

Interiors are simple yet refined with large floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings bringing in plenty of natural light. Kitchens are equipped with modern facilities to meet a family’s needs. The three-storey homes have identical first and second floors comprising two bedrooms and two bathrooms each, making them ideal for large families and for co-sharing with two parties enjoying the privacy of their own bedroom level. Two bedrooms, a bathroom and a washroom make up the bedroom level in the smaller units. Enhancing the Henderson neighbourhood as much as the lifestyles of those who reside within, this development is a welcome addition
