Preston Townhouse

We designed this three-bedroom townhouse for the rear of a corner property owned by our client.

The townhouse needed to be comfortable and spacious, but robust and economical enough to serve as retirement investment.

Our client’s almost uncanny skill in sourcing recycled and reclaimed materials and strong interest in energy and water efficient design kept this project particularly fun and interesting.

Highlights

• Economical, efficient design.
• Design for privacy and minimal overshadowing of adjacent properties.
• Energy efficiency through well-established solar design principles.
• A water-efficient indigenous planting scheme using local plant species.
• Permeable surfaces to limit storm-water runoff.
• Rainwater collection for use in laundry, toilets and garden.
