Characterised by curved architectural forms, the Wood Marsh-designed buildings house four and three apartments each. The bold and artistic aesthetic of the two buildings are entirely different but bear recognisable influences inspired by the surrounding water.&nbsp;

"We wanted to create an emotional response to living so close to the water's edge," Randal Marsh from Woods Marsh says.

One building features a series of fins for privacy and sun protection, clad in dark zinc metal, while off-white rendered masonry and porthole-like windows distinguish the other.

Apartments are situated on entire floors or half-floors accessible from private lift lobbies in each building.

To complement the waterfront setting, the interior design aims to evoke a casual and chic beachside atmosphere, utilising textures, colours, natural timbers, and marbles for a serene and sophisticated look and feel.

The generously sized floor plans, up to 270 sqm, distinguish this development from the others in the area. All apartments feature two living areas, two bathrooms, and a powder room.
