Rising from a former brownfield site, this nine-home development was designed with flexibility and efficiency in mind. The project is split into two building blocks to meet a variety of modern living needs. Three three-storey townhouses offer vertical living with single-car garages and sleek, minimalist façades. Set further back, six two-storey townhouses embrace a more compact footprint, prioritising affordability, without sacrificing quality. These rear homes forgo garages in favour of dedicated parking and generous open-plan layouts that make the most of every square metre. All nine homes share a thoughtful two-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom design, balancing private retreats with shared family zones.

Interiors are curated for ease, combining durable materials with warm, neutral tones that create timeless living spaces. Durable, low-maintenance materials were central to the build, with robust cladding and roofing materials chosen to withstand the test of time, while complementing the urban aesthetic. Energy-efficient features and a streamlined construction process — aided by the site’s proximity to transport hubs — further underline the project’s sustainability credentials. More than just a response to housing demand, this is a considered, community-minded addition to the city landscape — one that turns underused land into enduring homes built for the future.
