Elsternwick Residences take advantage of the tree-lined street, substantial allotment size, wide frontage and orientation to create two family focused dwellings with a singular façade expression. This uniformity and consistency in language across both residences blurs the boundary between townhouse and dwelling yet has sufficient fine-grained detail and layering to provide a clear sense of address.
Elsternwick Residences 利用绿树成荫的街道、宽敞的土地面积、宽阔的临街面和朝向，创造了两个以家庭为中心的住宅，具有独特的立面表达。两栋住宅语言的统一性和一致性模糊了联排别墅和住宅之间的界限，但具有足够的细致细节和层次，以提供清晰的地址感。
The established plane trees are reflected in the broad picture windows.
Variegated grey bricks provide a textural element to the façade. Dark
stained timber, operable screens and decorative metalwork complete the
monochromatic palette and add depth
through shadowplay. This limited palette of materials extends through
the interior of the dwellings, to feature walls and joinery within the
entry vestibule and beyond, unifying inside and out.
已建立的梧桐树反映在宽阔的图片窗口中。杂色灰砖为立面提供了纹理元素。深色染色木材、可操作的屏风和装饰性金属制品完善了单色调色板，并增加了深度。这种有限的材料调色板延伸到住宅的内部，以入口前厅内外的墙壁和细木工为特色，将内部和外部统一起来。
Each dwelling comprises a flexible bedroom or study at the ground level
together with the entry, separate sitting room and family living zones
opening up to a north-facing rear backyard. Upstairs there are a further
3 bedrooms, a generous primary suite
at the rear, laundry, drying room, study nook and inset courtyard space
to control vista and maximise full height unobstructed glazing.
每套住宅均设有位于底层的灵活卧室或书房，以及入口、独立客厅和家庭生活区，通向朝北的后院。楼上还有另外 3 间卧室、位于后方的宽敞主套房、洗衣房、烘干室、书房角落和嵌入式庭院空间，可控制视野并最大限度地利用全高无遮挡玻璃。
The family living room zones are light filled and spacious. Each takes advantage of the breadth of the site and extends the kitchen and informal dining zone all the way to the rear glazing. This extension of the kitchen is treated as a muted backdrop for punctuations of colour and soft furnishings to become the hero. Quartzite with a crystalline quality provides a jewel like sparkle to the over scaled island bench.
家庭起居室区域光线充足且宽敞。每个都利用了场地的广度，并将厨房和非正式用餐区一直延伸到后窗。厨房的这一延伸被视为柔和的背景，色彩的标点符号和柔软的家具成为主角。具有结晶质的石英岩为超大型岛台提供了宝石般的光芒。
Reeded glass doors provide subtle privacy and separation between spaces whilst allowing soft light to permeate deep into the floor plan. This play of light is further enhanced upstairs with the introduction of skylights. Running the entire length of the primary bedroom the ensuite vanity with skylight over connects the “his-and-hers” robes and provides a dramatic scale to these otherwise utilitarian spaces. Large format terrazzo slabs sit along side soft timber tones and crafted leather handles.
芦苇玻璃门提供了微妙的隐私和空间之间的分隔，同时允许柔和的光线深入到平面图中。随着天窗的引入，这种光影在楼上得到了进一步的增强。带天窗的套间梳妆台贯穿主卧室的整个长度，连接着“他和她”的长袍，并为这些原本实用的空间提供了戏剧性的规模。大尺寸水磨石板与柔和的木材色调和手工制作的皮革手柄并排而立。
