Construction approaches completion on one of Brighton's most luxe apartment developments
Esplanade Brighton Beach, one of Bayside's most architecturally striking apartment developments, is approaching completion.
The project of just 11 residences at 26-28 The Esplanade is being developed by SC Land and built by Minicon Construction.
Perfectly positioned between Brighton Beach and Brighton Middle Beach, Esplanade Brighton Beach comprises 11 three-bedroom apartments, including a penthouse, spread across two four-level buildings—overlooking Green Point Park with never-to-be-built-out bay and beach views.
Characterised by curved architectural forms, the Wood Marsh-designed buildings house four and three apartments each. The bold and artistic aesthetic of the two buildings are entirely different but bear recognisable influences inspired by the surrounding water.
"We wanted to create an emotional response to living so close to the water's edge," Randal Marsh from Woods Marsh says.
"Each aspect has been carefully controlled to frame individual features. These spaces were approach like works of art."
One building features a series of fins for privacy and sun protection, clad in dark zinc metal, while off-white rendered masonry and porthole-like windows distinguish the other.
Apartments are situated on entire floors or half-floors accessible from private lift lobbies in each building.
To complement the waterfront setting, the interior design aims to evoke a casual and chic beachside atmosphere, utilising textures, colours, natural timbers, and marbles for a serene and sophisticated look and feel.
The generously sized floor plans, up to 270 sqm, distinguish this development from the others in the area. All apartments feature two living areas, two bathrooms, and a powder room.
Travertine marble-clad open gas fireplaces are visual focal points in living areas, complemented by wide board European Oak timber floors.
In the kitchens, superb functionality and luxurious materials blend with the full suite of top-of-the-line Gaggenau kitchen appliances, including a steam oven, induction cooktop, and built-in fridge.
Master bedrooms boast timber walls and generous walk-in wardrobes, while master en-suites feature Hammam steam showers. All bathrooms are well-appointed by Vola tapware and are finished with travertine floor and wall tiles.
In-slab hydronic radiant heated floors in living and bathroom areas provide gentle and ambient heat that is efficient and silent.
The verdant landscaping, designed by award-winning landscape architect Taylor Cullity Lethlean (TCL), is tailored to evoke lush thematic gardens for each ground-level Garden Terrace Residence.
Each residence has two parking spaces and generous secure storage areas on the basement level.
Located on Melbourne's most famous waterfront address, Esplanade Brighton Beach's picturesque location is ideal for those who dream of tranquillity and views of Port Phillip Bay with the convenience of local transport and shops.
