Brighton: A three-level home, designed for now and for resale

Brighton, Victoria · New home · Architecture and interiors · Completed

A three-level home for owners who planned to live in it for a few years. A private cinema, a hidden bar and a sunken garden were designed in, while the plan was kept flexible enough to suit future buyers.

The brief

Creating a personal haven with an eye on resale

The client bought a large block in Brighton, Victoria, to build a striking new home they would enjoy for a few years before selling. They wanted it tailored to their routines and interests, such as gaming, cinema and outdoor living, while remaining attractive to a broad luxury market when the time came to sell.

Balancing distinctive features and market appeal

The challenge was to combine bold, personal elements with wide appeal. We designed a three-level home in which a hidden bar, a private cinema and a sunken garden are integrated without compromising the flow or the flexibility of the plan.

The results

A home that delivers luxury and flexibility

The completed residence pairs premium finishes with clear zoning and considered connections between its levels. It is personal to its owners today, and planned to remain attractive and functional for whoever owns it next.

Through careful planning, the Brighton project gave the owners the home they wanted for the next few years while protecting its long-term resale value.
