The intention was to design a modern medium density development that was sympathetic to the existing building stock yet unashamedly modern.

The houses have relatively small footprints, each being arranged vertically around a stairwell.

The homes have access from the South over landscaped gardens and pools to the front doors. The upper floors consist of kitchen/dining and living room areas, each with a separate lounge designed to capture all day sun and the views.

The materials are chosen for their permanence and lack of maintenance include zinc, plastered block walls and anodised aluminium joinery. Balustrades are frameless glass.

The form of the buildings is manipulated to comply with Council 'bulk and location' requirements, providing a solid back to the South and the street while connecting with view and sun to the North with decks off all levels.
