Architect-Designed. Built to Live In.
A row home is a group of 3 or 4 individual homes built side by side on a single block of land. Each dwelling is two storeys, with its own front door, private garden, parking, and separate address.
They’re designed to look and feel like a normal house — not a unit block.
HOPE. PLAN. BUILD.
Bookend houses
The homes at either end of the site are different to the homes at the centre to create visual interest.
Site gradient adaptations
Partition walls between dwellings can be stepped to accommodate sloping sites without the need for internal stairs.
Deep eaves and screened balconies
Extended eaves and regular column spacing provide shade and visual rhythm.
Ground floor courtyards
The comfortable living spaces open to generous private outdoor courtyards to improve overall amenity.
Dwellings perpendicular to the street
Four compact, 2-storey dwellings can be built on narrow sites under Class 1 of the National Construction Code (NCC ).
1-, 2- and 3- bedroom dwellings
Layouts can be reconfigured to create the preferred dwelling mix in a combination of 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms.
Wide range of facade colours
The colour of the brick base and painted panels can be customised to suit different neighbourhoods or preferences.
Car spaces depend on site
Standard sites have a rear carpark with 1 space per dwelling. Low- and mid-rise housing areas have 0.5 car spaces at the front.
Welcoming front entries
Individual entry alcoves are accessed by shared zone with landscaped pathway or driveway.
