Richmond Multi Residential

2011/2012 – Multi-Residential / Subdivision / Commercial Development – Total area ~3650 sqm.

This project is a great example for one of our more commercial projects. As a higher density inner-urban infill development, it adds substantial value to the land.

Designing 12 luxurious town houses, we set out to prove that a backyard development can be both exciting and of substantial revenue and size at the same time : A sustainable community that offers the residents convenience, lifestyle and spectacular city views. Within walking distance of the CBD, each house has ample of space, individual backyards and additional access to communal gardens. Special features like grand roof terraces, private water garden balconies from the master suite, exclusive interiors, theatre rooms, glass lifts, individual car parking with direct house access, and many more, make it a very unique development. A gem in the city that offers a lifestyle of luxury…

Have you got an under-utilized backyard yourself, or are you thinking of developing a site? Then you should talk to us about a Feasibility Study – you might have struck gold already!

Set in a classic residential area with Heritage Overlay, the site comprises an existing dilapidated dwelling with a large backyard. The total land size is approx 1600sqm. The brief was to develop the land into a sustainable multi-dwelling subdivision, accesses directly off the rear lane.

We investigated various options for the site (Feasibility Studies), the outcome being this unique city-living concept, aimed at a high-end market. Careful consideration had to be given to the height development over the site. Not visible from the heritage dwelling at the front, the individual houses rise from 2 to 4 stories over a basement/plinth level.

Why making a multi-res development sustainable, you might ask ? Sustainability benefits everyone, of course. Interestingly though, it also benefits the developer directly : Sustainability is something that, while becoming more and more marketable, still makes a great point of difference in the current competitive market. As with most our projects, all aspects of sustainable design, including environmental, social and economic sustainability have been incorporated into the architecture.
