Allure Apartments Dee Why banner

Combining coastal living with contemporary design features, the Allure Apartments in Sydney’s sunny northern beaches are an idyllic retreat from the busy city.

A low-rise residential project of nine buildings, each exterior is entirely clad in Cemintel Territory to capture the building’s subtle nautical essence.

A classic cladding option, Territory Woodlands Smoked has an authentic woodgrain texture that achieves a natural look with enhanced durability. By pairing this with the raw grey concrete look and subtle dimple texture of Territory Quarry Urban Grey, Allure seamlessly blends into the area’s stunning leafy surroundings with its refreshing neutral palette and organic aesthetic.

The cladding allowed Allure to achieve a woodgrain and masonry look with a product suited to the seaside conditions. The durability of the cladding ensures residents can enjoy the tranquillity of scenic beach living with the ease of a beautiful, low-maintenance home.

“We wanted Allure to stand out from other complexes; using architectural highlights to reflect the inviting beach lifestyle and sense of community. Being pre-finished and virtually maintenance free, the Cemintel cladding has a distinct and beautiful aesthetic against the lush natural landscape,” says Yarek Alexander, architect director of jaa studio, architecture + urbanism.

Unparalleled Design Flexibility

Fibre cement is perhaps one of the most flexible building materials available today.

  • It can be manufactured in numerous panel sizes and thicknesses.
  • It can be cut into various shapes and patterns.
  • It can be compressed for high strength applications.
  • It can be used in acoustic systems.
  • It can be used as a superior wet area lining product.
  • It can be painted.
  • It can be tiled.
  • It can be used for fire resistance applications.

New materials influence the way buildings are defined. Cemintel is responding to the growing importance of external and internal cladding with the release of new prefinished ranges. These ranges respond to the preference for high performance, lightweight materials and the desire for buildings to enhance the environment where we live. From external façades to interior surfaces, these ranges are a reinterpretation of cladding as we know it.

It’s the future of building and it starts now.

An Idea Born From Imagination

The father of fibre cement, Ludwig Hatschek, started to imagine a new building material in 1894. He wanted a material that was lighter than brick, cheaper than slate and better than sheet metal.

In 1900, he achieved his breakthrough with a special mix of fibres, cement, pulp, air and water. The Austrian calls the world’s first industrially manufactured building material ‘Eternit’ and numerous European countries adopted the technology from 1903. Australia first introduced the technology in about 1917.
