The Brougham Street Townhouses display a thoughtful transformation of an existing set of 1960s units in Kew, creating a harmonious blend of sustainability, functionality, and contemporary design. Leveraging the existing walls and footprint, the proposal reimagines the internal layout to incorporate modern amenities such as double garages, while prioritizing north-facing living spaces and outdoor areas on the first floor. This adaptive reuse approach not only minimizes waste but also underscores the project's commitment to sustainable development practices.

A timeless material palette of glass, black cladding, and cement render ensures longevity and visual appeal, while the layered vegetation adds a touch of natural elegance. In essence, the Brougham Street Townhouses exemplify innovative design solutions that seamlessly blend heritage with contemporary living, creating a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing urban environment.

NTF Architecture. A common response to our work is an appreciation of the light and space we create, but our designs are also conceived for a world where the sun shines, rains fall, winds blow, and temperatures vary – it’s this thinking that makes our buildings liveable, and lasting.We are a Melbourne-based practice specialising in intelligent and sustainable design solutions. Our experienced team of architects and interior designers deliver individualised and often unique outcomes specific to each site and context. Over the years we have developed an extensive portfolio of residential, multi-residential, commercial and interior projects, many of which have gained industry awards and recognition. Centrally located in Cremorne in inner Melbourne, we deliver projects of varying scales and typologies, with a consistent focus on high-quality, design-focused outcomes that are bespoke and timeless by their nature. The practice was founded in 2006 by Brett Nixon and George Fortey, who had previously learned their craft with some of Australia’s leading architectural firms, working on a wide range of residential, multi-residential, commercial and interior projects across the country. We have now delivered well over $500 million worth of projects in many parts of Melbourne and throughout regional Victoria, including Boroondara, Stonnington, the City of Yarra, Bayside, Port Phillip, the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas, Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Alpine Shire.
