Bournville Development

Overview

This medium-density housing development consists of 69 single- and two-storey dwellings on the edge of the Claremont Golf Course. The design process involved rezoning the land and creating the Claremont Peninsula Specific Area Plan, which enabled higher-density development on disturbed areas while preserving the riverfront's environmental value.

The siting of the dwellings ensured universal pedestrian access, efficient roadways, and parking. All units were oriented north to maximise daylight and river views, with building volumes raised at the rear for optimal sightlines.

A variety of single- and two-storey configurations provided layout flexibility, meeting market demands throughout the staged development. This approach was crucial to the project's success in an emerging market.

The design focused on conventional, low-rise construction, accessible to small-to-medium-sized builders, while maintaining high design standards. The development emphasised functionality, flexible planning, and a limited material and colour palette, balancing livability and market appeal. The final stage was completed in 2021.
