The Flynn, PORT MACQUARIE

Three spacious light filled dwellings have replaced the dilapidated fibro shack, which once occupied the 500 sqm. block. close to the beach and local shops, in a burgeoning tourist town, in the midst of a housing affordability crisis. The sculptural design carves out the interiors of the buildings with two storey voids which flood rooms with light, making the
space feel much bigger than it is.

While much has been written about "the Missing Middle" being the panacea for the current housing crisis, very few projects have actually been built to provide increased density in established residential areas.

The Flynn could serve as a very successful model for low impact development, which delivers greater density. The scale of the building fits well with the existing streetscape, so the proposal was not opposed by neighbours, unlike most attempts to increase density.
