The Springs is a boutique development of ten luxury townhouses on a prominent corner site in Western Springs. These dynamic townhouses feature large modern interiors, quality materials and fittings, and extensive views over Western Springs Park.
Modern forms are marked by contrasting light and dark cladding. Each unit is clearly defined by the change in roof line, a play of horizontal and vertical louvres in the façade, and a subtle stepping in floor plan and elevation.
Our design makes the most of the long site with large open-plan living areas opening out to west-facing balconies with views of the park. The main entries are located off Bullock Track, whereas the double internal garages are accessed via a shared driveway from Great North Road.
The building uses high quality, low maintenance materials with metal cladding, weatherboard and brick facades – with accent glass balustrades to complete the look. This development provides its owners with modern, comfortable living in an exciting location.
