beachside residence
sandown street, brighton
gentle afternoon sea breezes traverse through open light filled voids, embracing the natural rhythems of nearby brighton beach.
sited along prominent foreshore, this architectural masterpiece is considered to be one of the finest work created by architect Joseph Galati.
embodying the essence of minimalist architecture, lineal concrete form and expansive glazing combine to create a transparent structure, inviting the natural beauty of surrounding beachside foreshore.
entering the space, one experiences a sense of wonder, with open views toward sculptured stair and landscaped gardens beyond, bathed in natural light from circular roof opening above.
adjacent to front entry at the ground level, the main bed suite, private ensuite and walk in robe enjoy direct access to private landscaped front garden, and tiered courtyard below.
the remaining ground floor consist of spacious bedrooms with private ensuites, steam room, and expansive retreat with seemless transition to outdoor entertainment and feature pool area.
main living areas traverse across the front façade at first floor, embracing the sweeping views across the surrounding brighton foreshore, floating above the existing streetscape.
retractable metal screens create interplay between light and shadow, shifting across the front facade, responsive to the movements of the sun throughout the duration of the day.
descending the sculptured stair leads to further living spaces at subterranean level below, with feature picture window below pool level, customised bar and access to exterior tiered courtyard.
further exterior living spaces are provided at the roof terrace level, taking advantage of its raised elevation, with sweeping views across brighton foreshore and port phillip bay beyond.
harmonious within its natural setting, this stunning residence is a true testament to the architect’s life long endeavour to create beautiful architecture for the finest living experience, respectful of time and place.
