Edgewater Houses

This project for a generous family house in the Edgewater development in Melbourne’s inner urban fringe is a carefully executed response to unique site conditions. With a building envelope that focuses on verticality rather than sprawl, the project delivers approximately 350m2 of floor space over 4 floors, with an additional 5th floor forming a roof deck.

The Edgewater House differentiates itself from the emerging, surrounding building stock that is typically over-decorated, simply formed and aesthetically generic by articulating itself as a minimal, material driven entity that is broken into 2 distinct “suburban” forms. These forms break down the relentlessness of the surrounding “big house” typology to form an artful incision into the streetscape .

With a unique set of client requirements, the project will deliver a range of unusual components including a large, flexible entertainment space, on site grey water tanking capacity, and a visually arresting facade that differentiates itself, for the better, from those adjacent.
