1-7 Gladys Avenue, Frenchs Forest

The townhouses will range between two and three-storeys, with many set to include rooftop terraces and private garden spaces



Frenchs Forest, the family-friendly suburb on Sydney's North Shore, looks set for a brand new townhouse development.

Sydney developer Mohammad Mohsini, who owns home builder Decent Homes, has lodged plans for&nbsp;30 townhouses across an amalgamated site at 1-7 Gladys Avenue. The documents submitted to the local council suggest the site is located in a precinct currently undergoing a transition to higher density.

The townhouses will range between two and three-storeys, with many set to include rooftop terraces and private garden spaces.

10 of the townhouses will benefit from street frontage with private garden entries. There will be an internal pedestrian street created as part of the development, which will feature extensive landscaping between the street and the small private courtyards.

The development application also demonstrates the ability for a potential four-storey apartment building which would be located centrally within the site.&nbsp;

The townhouses have been&nbsp;broken up into three main building masses, with two to have a short boundary to the street with pitched roofs, dormer windows and smaller scale articulation features, while the third building will have a long street frontage, consisting of a different architectural language with brick work and a rooftop terrace area.&nbsp;

Whilst the buildings will be formed of different languages, the materiality is similar across the site, linking the buildings together, with textural brickwork and feature metal elements.

Walsh Architects, who have offices in NSW and ACT, have designed the $16 million development.

Significant planting will be incorporated across the site, with predominantly indigenous plant species selected, to support local pollinators and faunal species, while terraced plantings will include a mix of trees, shrubs, native grasses and ground covers.

Extensive tree plantings have also been featured to provide shading to the homes and outdoor spaces, with low water use plantings utilised throughout to provide a resilient landscape.

45 car spaces will be included within the basement, with EV charging provisions for a minimum of two cars for each townhouse.&nbsp;
