Location: Melbourne, Victoria,
Project year: 2008
Client: R. Corporation
Photographs: John Gollings


The Clara Apartments and townhouses, located in South Yarra, is designed to make a connection between the landscape and the built form – with an emphasis on environment through the use of systematic compositions. Clara, South Yarra is about ‘place’. It is the development of an environment that harmonises built form with landscape that respects the scale and diversity of the surround, and pays tribute to the hidden .

The sales and display suite for the project, located on site in South Yarra was designed by Elenberg Fraser, JCB Architects & Mardi Doherty Interior Design and refl ects the design of the apartment tower and villa townhouse project. The space was detailed, furnished and personalised with the intent to look and feel like a home, including the courtyard garden aspect. There is a sense of real luxury throughout, which was created through the choice of lighting and the selection of finishes and detailing.

However conservative this display suite seems, I must commend Elenberg Fraser for their stimulting and well finished work throughout Melbourne.

In all their projects, they never show an image of the whole building. Always showing highly crafted images of details. The detailing in their work is always beautiful and refined, but buildings needs to show urban interaction, not just a collection of beautiful details.
