​The proposal for Emo Road in East Malvern takes advantage of the subject properties' double frontage to Warley Road for a simple subdivision.  While the original Victorian home facing Emo Road will be retained unaltered, the design for a modern townhouse in the under-utilised rear yard allows the owner to maximise her yield in an anticipated future sale.
Simple forms and restrained detailing allow a feeling of space on a comparatively tight site.  Materials including white render, split face block and natural timber form a palette in keeping with the modern design, and reflecting the design expectations of the area.
