The Duo

Location: Oak Park VIC

This dual occupancy development in Oak Park was delivered with a focus on transforming a traditional single dwelling site into two well-resolved, functional homes. The design approach balanced retaining a residential scale with introducing a more contemporary built form, ensuring both dwellings sit comfortably within the existing streetscape.

The subdivision of a typical 700m² block allowed for efficient land use while maintaining practical access, private open space and a clear separation between the two residences.

Each dwelling was constructed to achieve a practical, liveable layout with a strong emphasis on natural light, efficient circulation and low-maintenance materials. The rear residence in particular demonstrates how a three-bedroom, two-bathroom outcome can be achieved within a constrained footprint without compromising usability. The overall build prioritised straightforward construction methods, durable finishes and consistency across both dwellings, delivering a development that is functional, repeatable and well-suited to the demands of modern medium-density housing in established suburbs.
