THORNBURY TOWNHOUSES BY FOWLER AND WARD
On a quiet residential street in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury, among a mix of red and cream brick residences, is a new building striking for its restrained colour and geometry. A monolithic rough-cast render base with deep recesses supports a crisp, white gabled form above. On the ground floor, warm timber lines the deep reveals. Green tendrils spill over the top of the ground-floor mass. The garden is loose but composed, contrasting and complementing the lines of the architecture. The building’s composition makes it difficult to immediately determine whether this is one house or two.
