Waterfront Residences

Waterfront residences require a high level of skill, flair & design detailing. Taylor’d DISTINCTION design services will provide you with a definition of style that reflects your lifestyle.

Waterfront sites have 2 prominent frontages. Firstly, the street façade must make a statement of intent, setting the framework for what lies beyond. A grand entry feature that integrates the built form with refined landscaping features is often desired.

Secondly, & perhaps the most important frontage is on the waterfront. The majority of lifestyle living is undertaken here, utilizing the water views from living & covered terraces. Careful planning & room placement can provide maximum use of view planes to the water, & channel cooling summer breezes for thermal comfort.

Successful design blends open plan living with flexible alternatives for privacy when required. Recessed courtyards & terraces can be effective in providing secluded sources of light & ventilation, & a connection to external landscaping features.

The status & expectation of waterfront sites, usually dictates the inclusion of large swimming pools that integrate closely with the building. Therefore it is vitally important to undertake a “whole of site” approach to design. Thoughtful considerations to positioning of service areas such as drying courts, water tanks etc. are necessary early in the conceptual designs.

Latest technological advances are integrated within the design, making sophisticated living a pleasure.

Taylor’d DISTINCTION will help you create a truly elegant & contemporary residence.
