Sunlight and privacy overlooking the inner suburbs of Hobart.
On a steep hillside block in Hobart, Tasmania, a row of five subtly terraced spacious townhouses blends into an established suburb largely characterised by weatherboard houses. We approached the challenging topography of the Jordan Hill project by progressively lowering each townhouse’s elevation, maximising their floor space and giving each home a sense of individuality. These subtle differences are also reflected in the master bedroom’s northeast-facing balconies, set on slightly different angles to create spaces that enjoy both abundant sunlight and privacy.

Daylight, fresh air and diversity of space are all created by a curved lightwell linking both floors at the centre of the home. The second floor, designed with flexibility in mind, contains three bedrooms, and the generous space around the lightwell can be easily converted into an office or library. On the other side, the master bedroom’s refined materials, city views and adjoining spaces echo those of a modern hotel suite.
Flexible spaces and city views.
Jordan Hill’s interiors make space for daily life, and create a sense of a compact yet spacious home. The warm Tasmanian oak finishes in the kitchen are framed by predominantly white materials - the floors, walls and ceilings - creating a calm and natural connection with the townhouses’ weatherboard facades and the surrounding landscape.
