The Butler Duplex project stands as a testament to our commitment to enhancing the quality of rental housing and embracing densification near vibrant town amenities. Designed to showcase the seamless integration of density and diversity in suburban neighborhoods, this project exemplifies how thoughtful design can elevate the urban fabric.

Driven by budget and site constraints, our design approach was guided by the need to optimise the available space while adhering to council and regulatory requirements. Challenges such as an existing sewer line crossing the site, along with specific carport and driveway regulations, necessitated a strategic approach to maximise the buildable area.

The architectural form of the Butler Duplex consists of two rectangular boxes, offset and rotated at 45 degrees to each other. This layout not only maximises the building footprint but also capitalises on coveted north-east views of Dumaresq Creek, harnesses abundant northern light, and creates inviting outdoor private amenity spaces for residents.
