The Fannie Bay Townhouses at 32 Conigrave Street in Fannie Bay are a multi-residential development that cleverly employs design cues to suggest the presence of two discrete residences within a single built form.
This approach reflects a shift toward medium-density housing in suburban areas of Darwin, where townhouse configurations offered a transitional typology between detached houses and larger apartment blocks.
The project responds to the local climate through shaded outdoor spaces and a considered relationship to the street, while the deliberate articulation of unit masses gives the development a human scale despite its multi-unit nature.
As part of Nightcliff and Fannie Bay’s broader residential landscape, these townhouses illustrate how mid-century suburban growth brought experimentation in form and density to a traditionally low-rise setting.
