Gipps Residences Richmond.

The design for this row of three townhouses on Gipps street has taken cues from the colourful mixture of industrial, commercial and residential streetscapes of Richmond. While the building maximises the site, each house is articulated eloquently in the building’s façade, the intention to break up the form to align with the scale of the neighbouring buildings with the second floor recessively setback. To finish, each townhouse is patterned with concrete, metal cladding and black framed glazing, referencing Richmond’s industrial past and providing a base for the newly planted creepers to grow over.

The living spaces of these townhouses would rival any inner city house on a larger plot, being vertically planned has provided the benefit of exceptional rooftop outdoor living and entertaining ‘rooms’ for each house, which is a highly desirable asset for any family, living in urban Melbourne.
