Townhouse for sale in Kambah's award-winning Urambi Village

A group of new public service arrivals in the 1970s set the benchmark for Kambah’s award-winning Urambi Village.

They came to Canberra to work for the Whitlam government’s Department of Urban and Regional Development in 1973 and were seeking environmentally sensitive medium-density housing with quality facilities.

Renowned Sydney architect Michael Dysart was commissioned to design the development. It is an example of the “late 20th-century Sydney regional style of architecture” with clerestory windows, stained timber and exposed rafters.

Dysart said “the design philosophy revolved around a pedestrian street with both arms leading to a community centre, forming an agora or public space”.

The development features 43 split-level homes and 29 courtyard houses, bordering the golf course and linked to reserve.

Communal amenities include a swimming pool and meeting room.

A three-bedroom tri-level townhouse is on the market. It has a large deck set among the trees, an easy-care yard and sweeping views towards the mountains.

Other features include a secure single garage, ducted gas heating and new carpets to the living areas.
