The next stage of Leighton Properties and LaSalle Investment Management's $230-million residential development in Erskineville has been announced.
To be built on the northern boundary of the 1.6ha Erko development, the three-storey Ashmore Terraces will feature 16 north- facing Torrens Title terrace houses.
A trio of award-winning architectural firms designed the contemporary fine-grained terrace row, paying homage to the area’s traditional architecture.
“We engaged SJB, Prineas and TRIBE Studio to take the finest features of a Victorian terrace, modernised them, and then integrate principles of thoughtful, sustainable design,” Leighton Properties managing director Mark Gray says.
“Erskineville is synonymous with terrace living and we’re sure our 16 will be well received, particularly by owner occupiers.”
Hannah Tribe of TRIBE Studio said it was rare to be able to enhance a streetscape from scratch.
“Most of the time we are working within the confines of an existing building, however this was an opportunity to design a classic architectural style with modern living in mind.”
SJB Interiors designed the internal living space of the terraces, balancing luxury with the ease of open plan living. Incorporated into the design are fixtures by Miele, marble ensuites with freestanding baths and large stone benchtops in the kitchens.
Tim Rees from selling agent CBRE describes the Ashmore Terraces as “a modern take on a much-loved architectural style”.
“The beauty of these terraces is that they are brand new. You are not buying a property in need of repair nor suffering from maintenance issues which is practically unheard of in a suburb so close to the city, especially one like Erskineville which is in such high demand,” Rees says.
