The result of intuition, inspiration and immense attention to detail, Verdure presents an innovative yet timeless presence to the rich landscape of Balwyn North. Characterised by a strong linear form, the building champions sustainable materiality and organic textures, cultivating an aesthetic of modern sophistication and natural beauty. At once robust and refined, the facade celebrates the raw and honest expression of its materials and form, settling seamlessly within the heritage streetscape. Echoing the elegance of Australian Modernism whilst establishing a contemporary sensibility, the architecture of Verdure is in complete harmony with its idyllic natural surrounds.

A masterclass in architectural design, the facade’s subtle recesses create a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow, introducing depth and dimension to the exterior. Adorned with high-end, classic materials such as brickwork and steel, the prominent form exudes understated elegance while delicately balancing between openness and seclusion, inviting residents to embrace the tranquillity of the surrounding landscape. Cascading greenery softens the striking linear design, whilst extensive glazing serves as a conduit for natural light, suffusing the interior spaces with warmth and brightness.

Tell us about the inspiration behind the creation of Verdure.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic post-war structures of Balwyn’s architectural landscape, we have embraced Textural Brutalism as our guiding principle for Verdure’s design—paying homage to the raw, honest expression of materials and form. At the core of Verdure lies a celebration of robustness and pragmatism. We have employed modern brickwork with clean detailing and lines, eschewing embellishments for a pure and uncluttered aesthetic. Each element is meticulously considered, with an unwavering commitment to quality materials that stand the test of time.

Does sustainability play a role and if so, how?

We made conscientious choices when it came to materials, ensuring they were sourced responsibly and met sustainable standards. Energy-efficient lighting and climate control systems were integrated to reduce the environmental footprint of the apartment. Ultimately, the design of this apartment is a reflection of our commitment to creating spaces that are both functional and beautiful, tailored to the unique needs and desires of our clients, where sustainability is a strong value.
