“The elegant proportions of the off-form concrete provide a rhythm to each residence in Haven, framing views of the leafy surrounds within and enhancing the experience of each residence. Crisp brick planters on deep balconies complement the architecture and landscape design. Large sliding doors open completely, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. A simple palette of materials provides a balance of textures and muted colours that will endure and age gracefully. The architecture combines seamlessly with the interiors and landscaping to create a singular backdrop for life.”

“The landscape design has aimed to highlight the natural amenity available to the property, with its views and interaction with Sailors Bay Creek. The horticultural and design elements complement the existing vegetation of the local area with species selected to provide a mix of endemic and native species, encouraging habitat for local fauna and support of sensitive ecosystems.

Expanses of lawns, deep curved garden beds and mixed shrub borders along with soft landscape materials provide a transition from the architecture into the gardens, with areas of upright tree ferns and feature trees offering scale to the proposed building. Series of planters on the building façade offer areas of green space to soften the architecture and encourages garden style living.”

“Taking direction from the pared back classicism of the architecture, the interiors have been designed to reflect a simplified but stylised approach to proportion and symmetry.”

Interiors by Richards Stanisich

“We considered the subtle changes in the habitual experiences within the apartment and developed a palette of materials to enhance and blend with those moments. In the kitchen, the cooking zone follows the principles of a classic open fire cooking hearth with its stone surround, while the storage and refrigeration zones are detailed following the principles of stand alone furniture pieces. Each of these items are connected by a central island which was inspired by the minimalism of a classical refectory table. In the bathroom each of the elements are expressed to reflect each individual purpose. The finer details generate a sense of quiet retreat and a connection to natural materiality.

We developed two material palettes to complement our approach; an indigo scheme with soft cloudy shades and a khaki scheme which is contrasted with gentle putty shades. The finishes are both matt and textural which brings a warmth and naturalness to the physical qualities of the interiors.”
