Twofold House

This is a pair of luxury four-bedroom townhouses in a Melbourne bayside suburb.

We designed them for a developer client who prioritises high-quality lower-density housing, instead of simply maximising yield on a site.

We wanted to sculpt a front façade that would shield the homes inside from the publicness of the streetscape. Therefore, we created a concave timber screen with a central cluster of windows. Its scale and shape offer no clues for passers-by about the number of dwellings or levels inside, but they reveal views of suburbia to the occupants.
