Austin Maynard Architects has completed Terrace House, a self-funded apartment building in Melbourne which is low-cost, eco-conscious and has enough room for young families.

Located on a narrow infill site in Brunswick, Terrace House is a six storey “ethical housing” building containing 20 apartments and three ground-level shop units.

The homes are designed to offer qualities that typically wouldn’t be affordable in inner-city apartments, such as high ceilings, large windows and access to outdoor space.
