Yamba Townhouses is located within an established beachside community and within walking distance to the township of Yamba, New South Wales, Australia.

The development consists of 4 town houses over three stories. Two townhouses front Harbour Street with a northern orientation. The remaining two townhouses front Wooli Street with a southern orientation. 

The townhouse development includes two car parks per townhouse with a additional car space per townhouse for visitors.

The site's proximity to nearby beaches, The Clarence River coupled with the convenience and activity of the nearby retail/shopping precinct, offers excellent access to public open spaces whilst promoting active and social lifestyles.

The design offers a highly considered beachside living typology – the townhouse development aims to reinforce the idea of coastal living.

Efficient floor plans offer holistically considered opportunities for solar gain and shading, natural ventilation, and coastal outlook.

Providing deep planting to the streetscape and setting background floor terraces and balconies from street frontages provides obscured privacy to each townhouse through the street foliage and balcony screens while maintaining a community outlook to the Yamba township.

The proposed building is considered holistically in response to a sub-tropical coastal climate, with a primary focus on passive cooling. The orientation of the building combined with each townhouse having dual aspects promotes unique opportunities to address sunlight, glare, daylight balance, shade, and natural cross-ventilation via the predominant cooling breezes from the east /south-east.

The layout of each townhouse is considered to enhance a healthy indoor/outdoor coastal living lifestyle. Living spaces both front and rear of each townhouse that connect to covered balconies and terraces also assist with solar control and will minimise the reliance on air-conditioning systems to create a comfortable living environment.

The design of the building provides an appropriate climatic response through the provision of projecting balconies and screening elements that provide amenity to terraced areas and protect doors and windows from elements such as sub-tropical sun and rain.

The aesthetic is one of minimal coastal form which incorporates lightweight building materials and screening elements articulating the building mass of the development.
