Conceived as 24 unique and individual handcrafted apartments, k20 Architecture were mindful of the generic apartments dotted around Melbourne and its suburbs and took the path of responding to the needs of the local community, as much as the many streets lined with Californian bungalows from the 1920s and ‘30s. The deep terraces of TWO BIRDS, with their operable timber-battened screens, re-contextualise the Californian Bungalow, with their deep and protective porches. However, unlike the bungalows, air will move freely through the front windows via large sliding glass doors. A lantern-style roof, with highlighted celestial windows, will purge warmer air for those living on the top floor.

Located in leafy and tranquil north-facing Ormond, TWO BIRDS is a stone’s throw from North Road, its strip shopping and the Ormond Train Station. TWO BIRDS will sit comfortably between a house, townhouse and penthouse style living.
