Designed as a multi-residential building, the Avenue
showcases a splendid solution to constructing a home that does not fit
the usual typology of a suburban residence displaying a garage at the
entrance. : “As a rejection of this prevailing model the project
sought to sensitively provide a high quality infill development as a
modest and discreet intervention to the streetscape. The key element in
the development of the concept is the rammed earth wall, which serves at
once as a party wall and boundary identifier, and as an anchor
grounding the dwellings and holding them in the landscape. One of our
primary aims was the development of a sensitive typology for urban
consolidation in what is an established outer suburban fringe setting.
The lack of defining boundary elements along the street preserves the
original landscape features and serves to unify the streetscape
appearance and reinforce the prevailing neighbourhood character.” Located in a residential suburb of Melbourne, Australia, named Blackburn, the Avenue was designed by Neil Architecture, who explained the inspiration and construction of the house.
