Description
Situated on a prime beachfront corner site, this project encompasses the development of two upscale townhouses in Altona. Designed to embrace the stunning views of Port Phillip Bay, the front residence features elevated living spaces facing the ocean views, alongside ancillary areas branching off from a central double-height circulation zone with an adjacent north facing courtyard. This circulation zone serves as a focal point, guiding access to the upper-level bedrooms, bathrooms, and a children’s retreat. The upstairs master bedroom that captures the panoramic view of the ocean, serves as a standout feature.
Similarly configured, the rear residence prioritizes northern exposure for its primary living areas, optimizing natural light and providing a seamless integration with the landscaped backyard.
Internally, a material palette comprising charcoal-coloured engineered timber floors, warm grey stone, dark timber veneer joinery and sleek black furnishings give the spaces a modern sophisticated feel. Each bathroom is appointed with luxurious finishes including a marble feature wall, oversized porcelain tiles, dark timber veneers and contrasting long black tiles, complemented by strategically placed skylights that bring in natural light.
Externally, the facade balances clean modern lines with an interplay of textures including metal, concrete, timber and perforated white bricks, lending depth and visual interest to the composition. Curved glass windows soften the facade and frame picturesque views from the living areas.
