Harmony in White: A Modern Twist on Traditional Townhouse Design

READ MORE

The development overcame several design challenges while creating standout features. Power poles were strategically relocated to accommodate a new crossover without compromising street aesthetics. Large front windows and glazed ground-floor doors enhance safety through passive surveillance and community interaction. Careful building placement maximized landscaping, providing lush green spaces in the front setback for privacy and curb appeal. The massing design, with recessed upper levels and well-placed windows, prevents overshadowing and ensures ample natural light for both the townhouses and neighbouring properties.

The project's unique all-white exterior, incorporating white brick, window frames, shroud features, and capping, sets it apart as a Mancini Made creation. Gable roofs reinterpret a common local architectural element, blending tradition with modernity. Vertical timber boards on garage doors and above first-floor windows echo traditional weatherboards while offering a fresh aesthetic. Street-facing studies near entrances further enhance security and community engagement. Grass-crete driveways add a natural element while improving site permeability and stormwater management. Finally, spacious rear living areas with open-plan designs create a seamless indoor-outdoor transition, completing this thoughtfully designed development.

This project exemplifies Mancini Made's signature approach through its simple form, material restraint, and considered detailing. The team's ability to balance cost-efficiency with high-quality standards is evident in every aspect of the design. By working closely with project partners, Mancini Made overcame budget constraints while delivering a premium result.

This townhouse development stands as a testament to Mancini Made's expertise in creating modern homes that respect their surroundings while pushing architectural boundaries. The all-white exterior, complemented by knot wood cladding, sets a new standard for townhouse design in the area, showcasing the company's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
