Small spaces and smart design go hand in hand at the Durham Street Townhouses. These characterful homes sit proudly about a shared courtyard, creating a village-like atmosphere - that all important sense of community and connection which can be hard to find with inner city living. All balanced with slatted screens, cedar walls, private walkways and cleverly positioned windows, giving privacy to each unit.
Natural, environmentally friendly materials feature throughout the townhouses, adding warmth to the spaces and offseting the bold contemporary design approach. Oiled cedar walls and slatted screens on the exterior are complemented inside with oak floors, cedar privacy screens, and timber lined kitchens.
Each free standing unit features a private outdoor space connected to the interior of the home by a generous double height void with extensive glazed facades. These dramatic north facing spaces allow natural sunlight to warm the central living and private mezzanine through the year. All together the intriguing forms and smart layout of these units are a lovely example of modern inner city living.
