Building designers Altereco Design, have recently completed a modern townhouse project in the coastal town of Barwon Heads, Australia.
To construct the mirrored townhouse design, they used a lightweight timber frame on a polished concrete raft slab and stick frame construction. Each home has independent street frontage with minimal shared/party walls.
