Terraces 04 by Other Architects x NMBW is a multi-dwelling housing (terrace) design for 3 homes arranged side-by-side. Terraces 04 was a winning design from the NSW Housing Pattern Book Design Competition.

The development is made up of 3 buildings: one at the street, one at the centre and one at the rear of the site. This means the site can be subdivided into 3 equal parts, or 1-bed, 2-bed and 3-bedroom combinations. Outdoor areas between each building provide light, air and a green outlook to each home.

This innovative design reimagines a terrace as a series of flexible rooms that can be rearranged and customised to suit different households and preferences. The front carport can double as a covered dining area or a flexible room, while the rear building can be a teenager’s retreat, studio, home office, or granny flat. An attic bedroom can be added to the core building and a second storey added to the rear building when the budget or site permits.

The base pattern is for 3 homes on a single lot. In new neighbourhoods, the pattern can be used to create up to 7 connected homes.

Terraces 03 by Officer Woods Architects is a competition-winning multi-dwelling housing (terrace) design for a minimum of 3 homes arranged side-by-side. The 2-storey homes are tucked away from the street and have generous front gardens to encourage interaction with neighbours.

Each home has double-height ceilings in the living spaces to provide more natural light. The interiors are spacious and flexible and can be adapted to the needs of changing households. A simple roof extends over the front and rear of the building to create covered verandas.

The layout is compact to reduce construction costs and allow space for trees and gardens. The design includes a range of bedroom and bathroom configurations to suit the needs of different households.

Terraces 02 by Sam Crawford Architects is a multi-dwelling housing (terrace) design with a minimum of 3 homes arranged side-by-side. The 2-storey homes each have their own street frontage, providing an opportunity to interact with the neighbourhood.

A connection to the front and rear gardens makes the compact internal layout feel spacious. The dining, kitchen and living areas flow through the ground floor to create open and multi-functional spaces. Well-positioned skylights allow for more sunlight and fresh air.

The efficient designs fit into a compact footprint to reduce build costs and create space for a biodiverse garden. A studio or garage with rear lane access can be added to deeper sites. Choose from 3 ground-floor layouts, including a Livable Housing Australia (LHA) gold level standard plan that enables multi-generational living. In low- and mid-rise housing areas, an attic bedroom or study with a dormer window can be included.

The development can be adjusted to accommodate different budgets and site sizes. For example, the design can accommodate a mix of 2- or 3-bedroom apartments, depending on the depth of your site.
