Esplanade Brighton reimagines medium-density coastal housing in Melbourne through thoughtful design and contextual sensitivity. Delivered in two stages, the project balances bold contemporary architecture with a deep respect for the site’s unique Bayside location and surrounding urban fabric.
The project comprises of a low-rise, residential led masterplan, replacing a vacant brownfield site with a collection of 24 townhouses and 11 apartments across 4 distinct buildings, nestled amongst a planted native garden.
A series of sculptural pavilions have been carefully composed and positioned within a new coastal garden. More than half of the site has been planted to create a lush green spine between the townhouses to the rear of the site and the two distinctive apartment blocks at the front.
Esplanade Brighton makes use of sustainable design practices to deliver a project that will support its residents and the broader community, setting a new standard for developments in the area.
