The Parkside Terraces Huapai project, completed in 2018, seamlessly integrates the area's rich horticultural heritage with contemporary urban living. Reflecting Huapai's historical identity as a rural community known for its vibrant horticultural presence, our design introduces eight thoughtfully crafted terraced homes that embody this legacy through fresh, modern architectural forms.

Project Gallery

The project comprises 8 homes arranged in 2 blocks, including 2,3 and 4 bedroom typologies. Monopitch roofs fold down at the ends of each block, referencing the side-loaded implement and packing sheds typical in the area. The weatherboard-clad facades step in and out beneath these roof forms, reminiscent of stacks of crates and pallets, while colour selection enhances the modulation of the façade.

This project adjoins a new public park to the north, and has street frontages to the east and west with a common access lane providing pedestrian and vehicle access to the south. A gentle slope to the site affords an elevated position, looking out over the park to the urban and rural views beyond.
