Merewether Multi-Residential
Location
Merewether NSW
Set within a quiet cul-de-sac on the western fringe of Merewether, this residential redevelopment responds to the opportunities and complexities of an irregular 796m² urban block. Webber Architects was engaged to design a three-dwelling medium-density development that balances privacy, amenity, and contextual sensitivity within a suburban setting.
Designed with both residents and neighbours in mind, careful attention was given to privacy, overlooking, and overshadowing. Upper-level windows were strategically placed or treated with opaque glazing, and the neighbouring laneway buffer to the south ensures minimal impact on surrounding properties.
The outcome is a finely considered residential infill project that exemplifies sustainable urban consolidation, responding to the Client’s brief for liveable, light-filled homes that embrace contemporary family living.
The project replaces a dated two-storey dwelling with three contemporary two-storey residences, each comprising three bedrooms, generous open-plan living areas, private landscaped courtyards, and direct internal garage access. A shared driveway and central pedestrian spine create an efficient internal circulation strategy, activating both the front and rear of the site.
Living zones are oriented to maximise natural light and cross ventilation, promoting energy efficiency and connection to private outdoor space. Bedrooms are positioned on the upper level, ensuring acoustic separation and functional flow for residents.
