Mount St Houses
The project comprises a pair of semi-detached houses currently under construction in Sydney. Conceived as an exercise in densification, the houses propose an alternative to standardised dual-occupancy typologies, counterbalancing a compact urban footprint with enhanced liveability.
A sectional shift into landscape
The houses respond to the steeply sloping site through a sectionally driven composition: double-storey volumes address the streetscape, while the rear profile steps down to three levels. This arrangement creates a private, tranquil domestic environment, where the ground-floor living spaces open onto a terraced outdoor sequence of garden and pool, and the upper private quarters extend outward to balconies.
A measured street presence
In contrast to the openness at the rear, the street elevation is deliberately contained and measured. A landscaped frontage softens the building’s presence, while expressed concrete bands give the composition a strong identity.
