No back unit
Both homes were planned with the same care, the same outlook to their gardens and the same street presence, so neither owner ends up with the lesser of the two.

Onkaparinga Residences
Two family homes on one large Kaleen block, each with its own front door and private garden.
Kaleen is known for generous blocks and established gardens, and this one had room for two full-sized family homes. The owner's biggest worry, a common one when people first talk to a multi residential builder in Canberra, was that one home would end up feeling like the lesser dwelling, so both have a proper entry, their own driveway and a private garden of their own.
Each home has four bedrooms, a kitchen built around a timber-wrapped island, and a solid timber front door set into a covered entry. The finishes match across both, so whichever home you walk into, the standard is the same.

Photographs
On site in Kaleen.
Shot over three visits, at dawn, midday and dusk, so the material palette reads the way the family will actually live in it.
What's inside
The specification, in plain English.
Every line here is something we insisted on, not something added to fatten a quote.
Ask about this specification- 01Two full-sized family homes with their own entries and driveways
- 02Acoustically separated party wall between the two homes
- 03Separate meters, hot water and services to each home
- 04Private, fenced rear garden for each dwelling
- 05Solid timber front doors set into covered entries
- 06Timber-wrapped kitchen islands with stone benchtops
Signature moments
The things worth
pointing out.
Small decisions that only reveal themselves once you're living in the house. These are ours for this project.
Independent from the meter up
Each home has its own power, water and hot water, so neither household is ever affected by the other's usage or maintenance.
A door worth walking up to
The solid timber front doors were made off site by a joiner and finished before they were hung, giving each home a proper sense of arrival.
Where it stands
