Warmington

Dual-Occupancy Form: The building consists of two mirrored residential units sharing a central party
wall, creating a balanced facade. Double Gable Roofline two prominent, sharply pitched gabled
structures form the upper level, creating an “M” shape silhouette against the sky.
Cantilevered Upper Floor The white-rendered upper level slightly overhangs the dark grey ground
floor, creating a floating visual effect. Central Dividing Spine A vertical white concrete column runs
down the exact centre of the building, clearly demarcating the two properties.
White Render clean, smooth white masonry forms the primary outer frames of the upper gabled
pavilions. Charcoal Grey Accents deep grey horizontal bands separate the floors, framing the garage
areas and grounding the structure. Natural Timber warm, vertical wooden battens on the upper
windows and matching timber cladding on the front entry doors add organic texture.
Glazing large, floor-to-ceiling glass window panels are nestled behind the timber screen guards on the
top level.
