Sandringham

Luxury developments and Rothelowman go hand in hand.&nbsp;

The award-winning architecture firm were engaged by DM Property to design their Sandringham development, Early 3191, which features 35 three and four-bedroom townhouses.

Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said the brief Rothelowman were given for Early 3191 was to create a series of townhomes that would elevate the standard of suburban living in Sandringham.

"The brief was to bring townhome living to a new level in Sandringham and deliver a series of homes through a calm landscape driven concept with a generosity for spacious living," Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209564]

"The design vision was centred around simplicity, community space, rebuilding the street, amplifying landscape and ensuring the future of suburban living."

Rothelowman drew inspiration from the surrounding coastal areas and neighbouring heathlands, which are reflected in the unified and simple palette of materials and colours used throughout the development.

"The site’s context was extremely important to the design of Early 3191," Marsland added.

"Sandringham has a laid- back luxury feel, overlaid with pockets of deep vegetation. This provided the inspiration for the palette and vibe of the townhouses. Examples of how this are the position of the front gardens and how they open onto the street, and the continuous public landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209568]

The townhouses were designed to fit seamlessly into the Sandringham context, with the unique deep nature reserves and generous front gardens transforming the atmosphere in George Street.

Marsland said it is&nbsp;important to the architecture firm that each Rothelowman design attributes significance to the physical and social fabric that surrounds every project.

"Early 3191 is a premier example of this."

Sustainability was a significant consideration in the design process, with features such as solar orientation, solar panels, rainwater tanks, and bicycle storage racks incorporated into the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209565]

Rothelowman Senior Associate, Kylie Caruana, said that as custodians of&nbsp;our neighbourhoods, our cities and of future generations, Rothelowman understands the importance of making sustainable design decisions.

"No matter the brief, the design solutions that our teams create must incorporate authentic strategies to minimise imbedded energy - in materiality, orientation and functional layouts - and energy use throughout the life of the building," Caruana said.

When it came to the interior design of Early 3191, Rothelowman worked collaboratively with Adele Bates to refine the interior design concept and bring the project to life.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209567]

"As interior designers ourselves, we understand the importance of the connection between architecture and interior design. The attitude to our approach remains the same when collaborating with other interior practices," Caruana said.&nbsp;

"For this particular project, Rothelowman provided innovations in town home layouts and the overall design approach for Early 3191. From there, we worked collaboratively with Adele Bates to refine the interior design concept to bring the project to life."

Elevating the standard of living in Sandringham: How Rothelowman designed Early 3191

The small suburb of Sandringham has quietly evolved to become one of the most sought-after spots in Melbourne's Bayside.

In the late 1800s, Sandringham began to develop as a popular seaside resort destination, with wealthy Melburnians building grand homes along the coastline.

The suburb's popularity continued to grow, and in 1920, the Sandringham railway line was established, making it easily accessible for day-trippers from Melbourne.

That access has now proved central to the suburb, with its connectivity to the city, paired with its abundance of beaches, parks and gardens attracting both families and retirees to the area.

Developing what they believe there's a clear need for in Sandringham is DM Property, who recently launched Early 3191, a collection of Rothelowman-designed townhouses on George Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209564]

The 35 three-bedroom townhouses sit just moments from Sandringham Beach and are within&nbsp;walking distance to local cafes, restaurants and shops on Bay Road.

Families have shown significant interest at Early 3191, not only because of the rarity of a brand new development in the area, but its proximity to some of&nbsp;Firbank Grammar School and Sandringham College, both considered among Melbourne's best schools.

For those who love outdoor activities, there are plenty of parks nearby including Royal Avenue Reserve which features a playground, picnic tables, barbecue facilities and open green spaces. Trevor Barker Oval is also just a short walk from the steps of Early 3191, located on Beach Road, the oval is home to football, cricket and soccer fields, as well as walking paths around the perimeter.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209566]

There's also Sandringham Foreshore Reserve which runs along the beachfront between Hampton Street and Bay Road offering views of Port Phillip Bay, while Green Point Brighton, which is a little further away but still within easy reach by bike or car, offers coastal walks through native bushland overlooking Port Phillip Bay.&nbsp;

The surrounding area boasts a variety of local cafes, restaurants and shops on Bay Road, which is just under a five-minute walk from Early 3191.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209568]

Early 3191 is conveniently located near several public transport options, making it easy for residents to get around Melbourne. The Sandringham train station is just a short walk from Early 3191 and provides direct access to the city centre in less than 30 minutes.

In addition to trains, there are also several bus routes that run through Sandringham, providing convenient connections to nearby suburbs and attractions. Bus stops can be found along Bay Road and Beach Road, both of which are within walking distance of Early 3191.

Construction of Early 3191 is expected to reach completion by the end of 2024.

Why families want to live in Melbourne's Sandringham

A new townhouse development has just launched to the market in one of Melbourne's most sought after addresses.

Sitting squarely in Sandringham’s coveted blue chip postcode, Early 3191 is the work of development group, DM Property, led by&nbsp;Brendan Mullan and David Dordevic who have a combined 20 years of experience developing across Melbourne, Queensland and London.&nbsp;

Located at 3-11 George Street, renowned architecture group Rothelowman has designed the collection of 35 townhouses, with a mix of three and four-bedroom floorplans on offer across three levels.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209566]

The townhouses boast a timeless facade that offer striking contrast with textured materials, with materials and finishes selected to not only stand out amongst the crowd, but to also carry a sense of longevity and luxury.&nbsp;

A considered palette of warm timbers, textural natural stone, paired with refined detailing creates a sense of lightness, and sanctuary in each of the homes, with the interiors of Early 3191 crafted by award-winning designer, Adele Bates.

The townhouses have been designed to make the most of natural light, with large windows and open living spaces that invite the outside in, with warm timber inviting the outside in.&nbsp;

The three-bedroom townhouses feature two bathrooms and two car spaces, while the four-bedders include three bathrooms, along with two car spaces.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209569]

The kitchens are fitted with CDK Marble benchtops, as well as SMEG and Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances and an island, with the space flowing into the living and dining areas. They then open to generously sized terraces, designed to cater for the warmer months in Melbourne where residents can opt for alfresco dining.&nbsp;

A&nbsp;shared mews runs through the entirety of Early 3191, creating a welcoming and open passage for residents to bask in, while also providing a peaceful sanctuary to relax and unwind in.&nbsp;

Early 3191 is still in the pre-construction phase, so prospective buyers are still able to save significantly on stamp duty costs, with construction slated for completion by late 2024.&nbsp;
