Waverton is a townhouse development including nine, three bedroom townhouses with basement parking located in Waverton, Sydney.
The site is located in a private street within a green area of Waverton. The site has irregular geometry with falls both east to west and north to south. Views of the city are possible from an elevated levels within the site. The site has a small streetscape frontage facing west, a single residence to the south, a small apartment building to the north and a natural boundary to the west with distant city views.
The strategy for the urban concept was to divide the townhouses into three built forms and surround them with landscape. This approach maximises amenity while also increasing privacy, occupant individuality and reduces the built from scale within the streetscape and context. Parking is concealed within the basement below and accessed via a dual car lift due to the slope of the site.
Each townhouse is arranged with living at ground with dual aspects to two landscaped terraces. This provides good levels of outlook, ventilation and solar access. It also provides multiple different landscaped spaces for different uses. The master bedroom with walk in robe and ensuite is placed on the upper most level to maximise views and solar access while providing privacy from the living areas. Two bedrooms a laundry and shared bathroom were provided at Level 01. Due to the vertical arrangement of spaces and the basement parking a small lift os provided for each townhouse.
A classically proportioned grid was adopted for the facade to provide balance to the organic geometry of the site and the setout of the built forms. The grid was also structural and allowed for the placement of transparent, semi transparent and solid infill systems where appropriate. A combination of brick, render, aluminium and glass was used to create both a simple and elegant system to filler the inside and outside environments.
