Architect: Liam WallisPhotography by Tess Kelly Liam designed and built 1 North Street as an opportunity to test a number of design concepts and construction details first hand. The result is a contemporary yet respectful townhouse style project completed in 2013.The project comprises a 3 bedroom, 1 car townhouse with a roof deck to the corner of Albion Street and North Street with a smaller 2 bedroom, 1 car townhouse fronting North Street. Architect: Liam WallisPhotography by Tess Kelly The concept at the heart of the project was to utilise a restrained design lead approach to increasing density on a typical 300sqM Brunswick block. The challenge was to strike a balance between efficient use of the site, user-centred design, integration with the street and affordability.Selling the rear smaller townhouse during construction enabled the project to be financed and resulted in a more affordable home for Liam and his partner Katya Crema.
