Project Description
Project description provided by Austin Maynard Architects - Terrace House takes a revolutionary approach to housing and delivers community-focused homes that are equitable, ethical, cost-effective, robust and resilient in the face of the growing climate crisis. Comprising of 20 residences, with 55 bike parks and 3 commercial spaces, Terrace House is the re-imagining of a former inner-city suburban life, where rows of workers cottages generated and nurtured close community. This ideology is the basis of Terrace House - these are not apartments but terrace houses, stacked six storeys high.
Fossil-fuel-free, with an average NatHERS rating of 8.1 stars, Terrace House seeks to be a positive example of good urbanism, focusing on deliberative design over profit and working together with residents to inform the design. Made possible by the support, investment and belief of past clients, staff and allies, Terrace House is Austin Maynard Architects first multi-residential project as both architect and developer.
