Conceived as a sculpted concrete volume lightly grounded in natural stone, the three-storey form is articulated by full-height fluted fins and crisply expressed slab edges that step across the façade. These elements lend rhythm and shadow play while deliberately maintaining the low-rise domestic scale of the neighbourhood.
The material language is restrained and authentic: off-form concrete with a subtle board-marked texture, hand-laid crazy-pave stone at the base, and vertical timber-look battens that screen parking and frame deep balconies. Generous planting zones and integrated rooftop greenery dissolve the building into its subtropical setting.

Generous planting zones and integrated rooftop greenery dissolve the building into its subtropical setting.
Each apartment is planned for genuine livability—cross-ventilated, abundantly lit, and extended outward through planter-edged balconies that blur the boundary between interior and garden. A shared rooftop terrace, partially shaded by a delicate pergola, offers residents a quiet vantage over the hinterland.
In an area transitioning toward thoughtful density, the project strikes a balance between architectural presence and contextual restraint, delivering a small building of quiet confidence and lasting material integrity.
