Farnham Street

The Farnham Street project was briefed as a 13 unit development on a steep site, with two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms, decks, carports for the upper level townhouses, and a cable car for lower level townhouses. The units have been cleverly designed to catch as many sunlight hours as they can. Private, open decks are accessible from living spaces or bedrooms.

When Nina Popov was asked to design the multi-unit development at Farnham Street, she could envisage the future owners bringing their lifestyles together in their own individual ways, complementing the environment and each other. Subtle aesthetics is her focus here; from the curved walls and staggered floor levels over the site offering a restful, seamless view, to the engineered foundation designed to be hidden well by native vegetation.

Nina took care to design to optimum privacy: the positioning of entrances and windows, using screens, pergolas, and decks, and drawing the outside in with efficient use of greenery in planting pods. And yet, there is a clear potential for community, a feeling of being linked to others, an area where neighbours can get together and enjoy their shared space.
