Urban.com.au was recently fortunate enough to go onsite at a number of Wulff Project developments currently under construction. One such project is a townhouse development previously covered on Urban.com.au called Newry Street.

Located on the corner of Newry and Canterbury Streets, in Richmond, the project is progressing well with an expected completion date of around mid-year.

Making its mark on Newry Street

The boutique development comprising 12 contemporary three-bedroom townhouses has been designed by Fieldwork and employs a rich material palette of white brick sourced from Spain, timber cladding and steel wire mesh screens to support the growth of vegetation.

Newry Street's architecture is inspired by Richmond’s heritage, drawing upon its architectural character and materiality to provide a contemporary interpretation of the area’s late 19th-century terrace home. Each Newry Street townhouse features bedrooms on the ground and first floor, with living areas on the upper floors that lead to terraces with sweeping views.

The townhouses vary between three and four-storeys.

The development is best described as a townhouse hybrid whereby each townhouse forms the overall composition which bears more of a resemblance to a low-rise apartment building. Parking is provided on the ground level via Newry Street, with a central driveway allowing access to each individual townhouse's garage and a rear entry to the townhouses.

The upper levels of the townhouses are built on top of this space, enclosing it. 

The traditional verandah is re-imagined as two outdoor areas, with a sheltered terrace and a rooftop space accessed via dedicated stairs, complete with built in barbecue and with most offering unobstructed views over Richmond towards the city to the west.

On the level below, the balcony offers views of the neighbourhood, providing passive surveillance to the street, with protection from the elements via what developer Adam Wulff refers to as 'baseball caps' . Large, glazed sliding doors allow residents to expand the living area outdoors, creating adaptable and flexible living spaces, and provide natural ventilation to each townhouse.

Look out for Part 02 which will focus on 122 Roseneath Street, a joint venture with Assemble Projects and Icon Developments.
