The Beckworth
Situated in Malvern East, the facade of these 16 residences directly responds to the envelope of each individual property footprint. This ensures property legibility and pride is high.
"The Beckworth achieves timeless design with maximised outlook and amenity."
The architectural language of the Beckworth was derived from a formal expression of individual residences. Importance was placed on providing a genuine sense of ownership and personalisation to the future residents of the building. Located on a busy yet primarily residential stretch of Tooronga Rd, equal measures were taken to ensure the design presents a cohesive, singular address to respond appropriately to the site context.
Duality of individual residences presented as a cohesive whole, informed an architectural language of the layered frames. The frames not only encapsulate and emphasise individual dwellings, but ground the building in a sense of permanence and proportion. A recessed second storey, defined through dark standing seam cladding, assists in accentuating the appropriately residential scale of the project within the immediate context.
