Abstract

Ziggy's Villas is a pair of attached dwellings located in Suffolk Park, a coastal suburb south of Byron Bay. The project aims to explore how infill housing can be provided on suburban blocks while maintaining the scale and character of the neighborhood. The design incorporates elements such as established native vegetation, brick fences, and raised brickwork screens to create a sense of enclosure and privacy. The use of high-level windows allows for natural light and views of the surrounding landscape while maintaining privacy. The construction process involved a joint venture between the clients and the builder, resulting in cost-effective and durable dwellings. The design of Ziggy's Villas offers a model for increasing density while respecting the local landscape and neighborhood character. [Extracted from the article]
