Multi-Dwellings on the South Coast
Your development should do more than add dwellings — it should create places people are proud to call home. Thoughtful multi-dwelling design blends functionality, lifestyle and investment value, and that’s exactly what we deliver at Gracia Building Design.
We work with homeowners, developers and investors across Wollongong, Kiama and the South Coast to design duplexes, townhouses and terraces that are cohesive, timeless and tailored to your site potential and goals. From consultations to approvals, our team ensures your project balances yield with quality living.
Whether you’re planning a series of townhouses, a row of terraces or a mixed multi-dwelling development, we’ll help you create designs that flow well, optimise space and meet council requirements. With clear layouts, smart finishes and coordinated documentation, we make the process simpler while protecting your investment.

Townhouses
Townhouses are multi-level dwellings that typically share one or two walls with neighbours and are common in medium-density zones. While they differ from duplexes in ownership structure and layout, many of the same design principles apply — especially when it comes to maximising space on narrow blocks. Our well-designed townhouses can feel just as spacious and private as a standalone home.
Terraces
Terraces refer to homes that all face the street and are built in a continuous row with shared walls. They often reflect a more traditional or inner-city style of development but are increasingly being used in coastal areas for their space efficiency and visual appeal. Terrace principles are often used when street presence is important or heritage considerations apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multi-dwelling development?
A multi-dwelling development refers to more than one residential building on a single parcel of land. Common examples include duplexes, townhouses and terraces. These projects are usually subject to local planning controls that cover setbacks, parking, open space and landscaping. Multi-dwellings are a popular way to increase housing supply, maximise land use and provide flexible living arrangements for different household needs.
What’s the difference between townhouses and terraces?
Townhouses are typically part of medium-density developments with shared driveways or internal roads, and each home may have a unique orientation. Terraces are arranged in a row that faces the street, creating a consistent streetscape. While both fall under multi-dwellings, councils may apply different rules regarding layout, parking and landscaping. Choosing between them depends on land size, zoning and design objectives.
Why are multi-dwellings a good investment option?
Multi-dwellings can provide strong investment benefits by generating multiple rental incomes from a single site and increasing overall property value. They also make more efficient use of land in growing urban and coastal areas. With thoughtful design, these projects can balance liveability with return on investment, making them attractive to both property developers and families seeking long-term financial security through housing diversity.
