The robust new design builds on a Silver Level of the Livable Housing Guidelines, achieving core spatial elements to ensure future flexibility for a range of occupants as well as improving energy efficiency and thermal comfort. Each townhouse has north-facing living spaces opening directly onto the rear yards, with open-plan kitchens overlooking the street with great cross ventilation.

Upper-floor levels step in and out to articulate the overall mass and break down the scale of the building, and with a simple skillion roof (allowing for future solar installation) which  overhangs at the rear to shade the sliding doors. Rainwater is captured and stored for re-use and all appliances are electric.
