The locale comprise a relatively level street with small terrace subdivisions. These are interspersed with double lot free-standing early twentieth century houses and larger consolidated lots with multi residential buildings and light industrial uses.

The site was previously occupied by a single storey federation weatherboard cottage. Prior to subdivision, it had an approximate area of 306 sqm and both street and rear lane frontages of just over 10 metres.

From the street, terraces appear tp be two storey, consistent with the character and proportion of neighbouring terraces. In reality, whilst the bulk of the building is sited towards the street, sensitive to traditional setbacks, the rear of the terraces are three storeys, opening up to spacious landscaped urban courtyards, taking advantage of aspect, natural lighting, ventilation and the skyline views.
