A sophisticated and sustainable mixed-use development featuring 25 terraces, 16 apartments, and 5 retail spaces, designed to harmonize with the coastal environment of Browns Bay while offering modern living and communal green spaces.

Informed by previous industrial use and history of the site, the architecture strikes clean and simple lines that stand LOFT tall to capture the sea views of Browns Bay. Accessing the site centrally, the environment is communal, playful and inviting, softened with vertical and horizontal green walls. 

Working with a durable and low maintenance palette of materials, the presented form is sophisticated and sustainable.

Each dwelling claims its own identity with specific privacy screen finish and nominated signature cladding expressed at the ground floor and threshold before rising up flag like. Once inside you are lifted from a practical ground floor layout to a smart first floor sleeping space, then onto the main living floor above, into the light and view. The interior reinforces the modern external lines and is light and spacious. Timber elements feature and soften to provide spaces of comfort.

“I’ve worked with William and the Taylored team on a wide variety of projects: industrial new builds, commercial renovations and extensions, beach house concepts, along with more recently, an extensive residential rebuild. Whilst the end result of Taylored’s commitment to great design and hard work is always something to be proud of, it is the process, the journey, that we find most enjoyable. Considering the context, creating the brief, sharing the knowledge and feeling a part of the actual outcome. That is where the fun is and where real value is added. The depth of knowledge the team demonstrates, outside of the typical design parameters, is what we find so valuable. Planning considerations, council, funding options, potential returns, sales targets, buildability, products and how long things might take, are all part of the package when you work with the Taylored crew. Taylored are certainly my go-to for all of our design and related requirements and personally, I recommend William and his team very highly.”
