The Evelyn Townhouses
By Schmidt And Pang Architects
16 Townhouses with seven different typologies
‘Revitalising heritage’
The Evelyn Townhomes are a collection of 16 luxury townhouses designed to celebrate Melbourne’s unique Fisherman’s Bend precinct, in Port Melbourne. While once a forgotten and ignored fringe suburb, today Fisherman’s Bend is Australia’s largest urban renewal project, transitioning from light industrial to a sought-after residential destination as one of the last few inner-city suburb evolutions.
The Evelyn responds to the vision for the ‘Wirraway’ precinct of Fisherman’s Bend which is located in a family-friendly location adjacent to J.L. Murphy Reserve. The park’s central role within the precinct is embraced at The Evelyn with views and park interaction, complemented by the site’s configuration with car parking concealed within the centre of the townhouses. By concealing the ground level car park under a level one courtyard, residents are provided with excellent
amenity adjacent to their living rooms.
The design response pays tribute to the area’s industrial heritage with masonry repetition and profiled metal cladding, creating a ‘mechanical’ feel not unlike the side view of a combustion engine.
Furthermore, the layout complements families with either a three-storey (3) or four-storey (13) configuration for each townhouse, complemented by large terrace spaces in the mid levels or atop the roof.
Schmidt & Pang Architects is proud to be part of this project and appreciates the hard work of other consultants and the developer in bringing it to construction on a challenging site.

About the
Professional
Schmidt & Pang is a multidisciplinary design practice creating architecture that delivers accomplished and enduring outcomes.
We have the finesse of a small firm that harnesses the capability of a large practice, led by directors Roger Schmidt and Naomi Pang. Established in 2012, our work leverages 30 years of experience in the public and private sectors across residential, infrastructure, education, sports, health, local government and community engagement.
We are creating sophisticated residential spaces that seek to enhance life’s everyday moments. We are evolving the ways people connect and interact by designing exceptional community environments. And we work with councils and government on a range of projects.
In practice, we don’t simply draw design concepts; we study patterns of use. From the outset, our approach is underpinned by our capability in construction detailing and environmental obligations, so that we understand what we need to change before we act. We then invite community and stakeholder input, enveloped within industry-leading documentation and project management. From council tendering and environmental impacts to consultancy and
construction, we strive to bring out the best in each stage.
For us to deliver the standards we set, our directors work within a framework that is hands on and highly responsive. This facilitates a personal approach with rigorous attention to detail and allows us to shift and scale up or down alongside our team as needed. It means we are always accessible and approachable, providing maximum time and effort to cater for each project’s demands.
We work on projects that we regard as imbuing a lasting quality without folly. We like to think our work leads to spaces that have a positive impact on our sense of wellbeing, informed by our personal influences of music, sport, food and art. We are inspired by everything from the day to day patterns of living to the call and response of musical improvisation. In our work, we aspire to an enduring appreciation for every space and detail.
