The traditional terrace home.
Reinterpreted for today.
The site is nestled in behind Queens Parade Village and accessed via bluestone cobble laneways. Maintaining the existing bakehouse façade is a reminder of Melbourne’s bygone years when the city was predominantly bluestone and brick.
Rather than using the traditional townhouse model of dividing walls to distinguish each home, here the use of brickwork, colours and textures ensures each terrace is an individual address. Inside, the terrace homes offer a range of configurations to suit each resident, as well as a variety of neighbourhood views.
JAM Architects has drawn on the heritage character of North Fitzroy, the laneway context of this location, and the needs of changing contemporary lifestyles to create a collection of modern terrace homes.
