Construction set to complete on Compose townhouses in Hawthorn in August
Hawthorn is preparing to welcome its latest residential development in the upcoming months.
Compose will consists of 19 townhouses developed by Sinclair Brook Group, who have had Brompton Construction handle the build of the Glenferrie Road project.
Only one townhouse remains for sale in the development, with the three-bedroom home featuring a spacious courtyard that blends the lines between indoor and outdoor living.
Nestled between Burwood Road and Riversdale Road, the townhouses enjoy a prime spot just off Glenferrie Road, placing residents within proximity to an array of esteemed schools, shops, cafes, and transport links, including trams and trains.
The architects at Jackson Clements Burrows designed Compose, drawing on the heritage of Hawthorn. They feature a robust, red-brick base, complemented by charcoal steel accents, which imbue an industrial aesthetic while perforated screens add a layer of texture whilst fostering sustainable living.
JCB Associate Director Chris Manderson said Compose crafts a contemporary celebration of the Hawthorn home and garden.
"It is intrinsically of its place whilst a warm interpretation of aesthetic, patterns and materiality composes a new typology for terrace home living."
Internally, the homes feature Gaggenau cooking appliances, in addition to integrated Fisher & Paykel fridges, along with polished concrete, timber, and carpet flooring.
“The interiors of Compose feel connected to the external landscape, applying a calm and classic aesthetic. They are luxuriously appointed with generous living, dining and kitchen spaces, all featuring direct access to private terraces.”
The articulated mass of Compose means passive ESD initiatives such as cross flow ventilation and solar gain are well utilised. The layouts afford a high level of amenity and flexibility to the internal spaces, with generous storage areas, living space and kitchens.
Adorned in lush greenery, vegetation cascades from every angle of the building, bringing a softness and vitality to the facade whilst complementing the canopied streets of Hawthorn, with generous setbacks in the architecture creating ample space for a landscape buffer, which encircles the homes in a natural sanctuary.
