Townhouses on Portsea Beach with views over Port Philip Bay
Situated on a prominent site adjacent to the Portsea Village precinct, the three 2-storey townhouses provide a sensitive design response to the local coastal village and Portsea foreshore frontage in terms of scale, aesthetics and materials selection.
Conforming strictly to local planning regulations on height control and local character, the buildings are well articulated through use of a combination of materials, textures and colours. These include local stone feature walls, timber cladding and louvres, rendered walls and exposed steel structure, offering the appeal of modern coastal living.
The buildings have been planned and designed to allow maximum views and natural light into the living spaces facing north, without compromising the privacy of neighbouring properties. The townhouses are three to four bedroom units, with bedroom and bathroom areas on the lower level. The ground floors also contain casual living areas with private landscaped courtyards. Generous daytime living spaces with a fireplace, bay window and a large modern kitchen occupy the upper floors, with expansive and unobstructed views out to Port Philip Bay. These interiors open onto terraces or balconies which act as outdoor rooms, and provide a gradual interface between the site and the Foreshore. Such spaces are an essential attribute of high quality coastal dwelling for all seasons.
