Brick by brick: How ANGLE is redefining confidence in the off the plan market
Summary:
- ANGLE’s Fernhurst in Kew continues collaboration with Edition Office and Eckersley Garden Architecture.
- Design integrates handcrafted Krause Bricks and landscaping to blend with Studley Park’s character.
- Interiors feature high-end craftsmanship, including Molteni&C wardrobes and Gaggenau appliances.
Don’t change what isn’t broken.
That was the mindset of the team at design-driven Melbourne developer ANGLE when they secured another site in Kew’s exclusive Studley Park precinct.
Having completed the award-winning Fenwick just 700 metres away—selling all nine residences well before completion—ANGLE partnered with the same trusted team, with the goal of creating something even better.
They brought Edition Office and Eckersley Garden Architecture to the site, confident the team already understood what ANGLE’s core customer base was looking for. The challenge then became how to take it even further than what they’ve delivered before.
One of ANGLE’s key priorities is always to evoke a sense of generosity in their developments. For Fernhurst, they reserved a significant portion of the 4,000 sqm-plus site for landscaping. Eckersley Garden Architecture collaborated with Edition Office to ensure the buildings didn’t compete with the natural environment but complemented it.
“With generous setbacks allowing for oversized gardens, we envision a lush, leafy green setting with soft edges, full planting, and a tranquil, explorative garden,” says Eckersley.
Edition Office designed the buildings around this extensive landscaping, centring them on a grand, central void that floods each dwelling with natural light and enables cross-flow ventilation—immersing residents in the surrounding garden environment.
Fernhurst highlights ANGLE’s meticulous attention to detail—literally, brick by brick. For the brick façade, they partnered with Krause Bricks, a family-owned Australian company operating since 1945, known for fire-resistant, carbon-neutral bricks. Krause’s handmade bricks, celebrated for their depth of colour and rich texture, have featured in luxury homes from Toorak to Potts Point, including the 2024 AIA Queensland Residential Architecture Award-winner in Mermaid Beach.
True to form, ANGLE closes the loop by collaborating with best-in-class partners for interior fit-outs. Kitchens at Fernhurst will feature integrated Gaggenau appliances, while wardrobes are being custom-crafted by Italian brand Molteni&C, globally recognised for its precision joinery and craftsmanship.
Jellis Craig Projects Director, Stephen Bowtell, says ANGLE’s attention to every detail gives off the plan buyers a strong sense of confidence.
“The way ANGLE has designed Fernhurst, all the way down to the brick selection, shows the team is incredibly committed to the end result for their purchasers,” Bowtell says.
Over half of the 20 residences at Fernhurst have already been sold, even before construction has commenced. COBEN has been appointed as the builder, with work set to begin imminently.
