North Melbourne

Melbourne Council Town Planning

Victoria, North Melbourne

The site has great access to three streets which means we have pursued a scheme with on grade car parking and the 14m height limit means the townhouses will all be on 50 sqm lots over four levels with 3 beds, 2 baths, 1 car park and a roof deck.

To maximise the amenity of the site we have decreased the site coverage of the current warehouse to allow us to incorporate rear courtyards into all the units. We did this to ensure that all four floors have good access to light. We will also soften these areas through the use of planter boxes and plantings. External spiral staircases to access the roof decks made of perforated metal were also chosen to allow as much light in as possible.
