Clyde Mews is a development of two traditional Thornbury suburban house blocks into an alternative model of medium density housing.
Project Name: Clyde Mews
Studio Name: Six Degrees
Site size: 1000 m2
Completion date: 2018
Building levels: 2
Location: Thornbury, Australia

Rejecting the usual car centric paradigm, the project instead delivers a model of medium density living that prioritises the development of community, shared amenity, sustainability and landscape.
Clyde Mews consists of 3 x 3 bed and 3 x 2 bed family centric dwellings along with 2 x 1 bed units, encouraging different resident types within the small community. The dwellings have been designed and orientated to provide energy and water efficient residences that are sustainable, comfortable and affordable.
While onsite parking is provided, it is held to the edges of the site, allowing the remaining open space to be pedestrianized as a shared “back garden” for the residents. This project seeks to pull down the fences between neighbours, share amenity and help foster community for those living there.
