Marked by two majestic heritage listed homes, this expansive site in Randwick called for an innovative solution to provide 12 townhouses.

The design response involves a central walkway – inserted between the two homes – leading to an intimate mews space in which the townhouses access. The two storey buildings take the form of a series of private walled garden spaces at ground level with bedroom and study spaces above. A central courtyard breathes light and air into the house interconnecting open plan living spaces. A lightweight stair leads to a private roof garden terrace and sun deck benefiting from city views.

Our work is driven by a passion for light, space, natural materials and finely crafted living spaces, coupled with an acute awareness of the sustainability challenges facing the built environment today.

The practice specialises in creating well-resolved, light-filled, tactile and thought-provoking buildings – both single houses and multi-residential projects – for people to live work & play in. Living in a Fox Johnston-designed building is the perfect antidote to the stresses of today’s complex & challenging world.
