Bettong Avenue and Pademelon Street, Throsby
Living Design Projects’ brief to the architects is always synonymous with quality and a unique design.
Outside: show us something that we haven’t seen before.
Inside: light, space and air.
Typically, a traditional narrow terrace can be hard to fill with light. But Living Design Projects’ long experience building homes after that style means they know all the tricks to create superbly sunlit spaces.
“We feel that we’re able to build terraces that incorporate a lot of space, and typically it’s hard to get good light and space into a traditional terrace,” development manager Paul Dermatis said.
“Because we’ve built a lot of these, and our architects are very skilled, we’ve managed to bring light into these.”
An elegant white facade leads into the 24 two and four-bed homes. Clean lines and a simple design will give the buildings a timeless elegance.
Solid, lasting material will enhance this, Dermatis says. Developers have chosen to minimise the use of lightweight materials to give the homes a sense of quality and permanence.
Inside, spaces are large. Interiors range between 159 and 164 square metres, in addition to double garages. Skylights and high ceilings incorporate light.
Living spaces open on to landscaped courtyards, providing private outdoor space.
“We see them as terraces which will, maybe in 10 or 20 years time, be sought after and the build quality will endure,” Dermatis says.
Sitting out of Canberra’s bustle, Throsby is nestled between Mulligans Flat and Goorooyarroo nature reserves.
Belying this, Throsby sits close to the convenience of Gungahlin. Its position at the end of Horsepark Drive means it’s also just a hop, step and a jump from the city centre. The coming light rail is set to further add to its amenity.
Homes at Alba boast ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, PUSH home technology, a choice of three colour schemes, Ariston appliances in kitchens, and double garages.
The 8000-square-metre block will also incorporate a childcare centre.
Construction is due to begin in July at Alba, with completion expected by July 2019.
18 four-bedroom townhouses are available.
Price range: $704,000-$715,000
