Newton Street brought with it an entirely modern dilemma.
A vacant block of limitless potential in the middle of a 1990s estate; the last bastion of opportunity in a sea of beige townhouses. The dilemma; how to construct two modern homes that are sympathetic to their surroundings when their surroundings are so underwhelming?
The approach required a respectful but nostalgic nod to the dominant brick and rendered facades nearby.
With a modern reinterpretation through the introduction of timber and metal elements.
These innovative materials allowed us to maximise the internal space creating generously proportioned living areas, relaxed, low-maintenance outdoor entertaining areas and luxuriously appointed private spaces all with a contemporary design influence.

About the
Professional
Design, Town Planning & Development
e+mc2 is a design and development firm born from an obsession with all things related to the building of buildings and the business of business.
Behind this unhealthy obsession is big e; a self-professed property nerd who has a passion for the small footprint ethos of designing your home to harness the space it utilises, not the space it wastes.
Rather than developing healthy hobbies such as football or friends, big e spends his weekends researching new building materials or techniques that can yield higher efficiency in the use of space.
In a quest to develop cost-efficient designs that are both thoughtful and thought-provoking, few things get him more excited than multipurpose objects or spaces.
The projects to date have ranged from compact apartment renovations to spacious stately homes and majestic beachside villas, all following the philosophy whereby function and form must meet in equilibrium.
