Grange.
A two-dwelling development in Grange, coastal western Adelaide — a pair of mirrored two-storey semi-detached homes, each 257 m² on an 8.4-metre frontage, planned to feel generous and private on a tight beachside infill site.

The site — a single established allotment in Grange, minutes from the beach — was significantly underutilised. The brief was to unlock two independent, market-ready dwellings without the compromised, narrow feel that so often defines infill housing. Each residence needed to read as a genuine home rather than half of a duplex: secure off-street parking for two cars, a ground-floor master suite, real outdoor living, and a street presence befitting a beachside address.
Delivering two dwellings that feel individual rather than mirrored and repetitive.
By setting back the shared boundary wall on the development it created a sense that each dwelling was standalone rather than the traditional party wall facade common on semi-detached developments.
Grange sits in the City of Charles Sturt, where two dwellings on a single established allotment is a common infill outcome. A dual occupancy usually ends up as two narrow homes that read as one building split down the middle. Setting the shared wall back is what avoided that here.
SPACE got the planning approval through efficiently and made a narrow block work harder than we thought possible.
