The project comprises a two-lot subdivision on a total site area of approximately 562 square metres, with the two dwellings providing internal floor areas of around 233 and 217 square metres respectively. The architectural language is grounded in a carefully curated material palette, combining brickwork with subtle perforations that add texture, depth, and play of light. In response to the client’s brief, gently curved walls were introduced as a defining design feature, softening the overall massing and creating a sense of fluidity in the built form.
The presence of power poles and mature trees prompted the buildings to be set back, creating space for thoughtful landscaping and a more generous, inviting connection to the street. Perforations were extended thoughtfully to the front fence, reinforcing the material language and adding a refined sense of transparency and rhythm. At the entrance, cactus planting complements the architectural curves, marking the threshold and offering a subtle pause between street and home.
Internally, the residences are arranged to support contemporary living, with spatial planning that prioritises comfort, functionality, and the flow of daily life. Clean lines and restrained detailing maintain the modern aesthetic, while the interplay between solid masonry and softer architectural gestures creates a balanced and nuanced composition.
