Hana Abdel — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 18:00:00 +0000

Nestled in the charming neighborhood of Port Melbourne, Esplanade House is designed to create a bold statement amongst its natural surroundings. Its perfect location on a corner site adjacent to Edwards Park allows uninterrupted botanical views while creating the sense of security and privacy of an intimate home.

Alumuna Residences / Wood Marsh

Hana Abdel — Sat, 08 May 2021 23:00:00 +0000

The Alumuna Residences are situated on a challenging L-shaped site and are activating its dual street frontage to the adjacent neighbourhood. With the majority of the building’s form contained inboard, the approach is to achieve as much movement as possible on the two narrow facades - one on Johnston Street and the other on Rouse Street. Drawing from ideas of kinetic sculptures, the facades present as a dramatic concertina whose appearance is constantly changing through the day.

Shadow Roll House / Megowan Architectural

Andreas Luco — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 21:00:00 +0000

Nearly hidden behind the facade of a heritage protected workers cottage in Port Melbourne, Victoria, sits the Shadow Roll House. Ubiquitously clad in dark grey corrugated steel, the design for this new home features a rolled roof line which allows the newly built form to recede in a shadow-like fashion behind the heritage streetscape. Internally, the curved ceiling becomes a feature allowing for a double-height void and visual connections between first and ground floor open spaces. The first floor spaces benefit from blinkers like baffles and screening which help focus and preserve views to the north and the Melbourne CBD skyline while preventing overlooking to the adjacent neighbours private open spaces.

Cable House / Tom Robertson Architects

The Cable House transforms a small, dark workers’ cottage into a contemporary family home, finding elegant solutions to the challenges posed by the dense urban environment, narrow south-facing site, and heritage context.

Boundary Street House / Chan Architecture

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Surrounded on all sides by neighboring properties, this site was unique in that it was irregular with a particularly wide frontage, with a mixture of houses on one side of the street with commercial and industrial buildings on the other. Importantly, the existing house could be demolished and so we had the opportunity to design a new house from scratch, which is very rare for inner-city Port Melbourne.

Port Melbourne House / Pandolfini Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Tue, 28 Nov 2017 19:00:00 +0000

Located in the bayside suburb of Port Melbourne and within the confines of a long narrow site with strict heritage and planning controls, the aim of this project was to create a family home with an abundant sense of space and light.

Sandridge Lookout / Cox Architecture

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Conceived as a sculptural element in The Port Melbourne landscape, Sandridge Lookout acts as both a pedestrian viewpoint and visual landmark for those at sea.

Nott Street / Plus Studio

Port Melbourne has fast become one of the key residential suburbs of Melbourne to develop low and mid rise mixed use apartment buildings. Armada is no exception and represents a style of architecture that is both visually intriguing, yet practical.
