Sargood Street is a boutique, 4 level, 15 apartment residence located adjacent to Altona train station and just three blocks from Port Philip Bay.
The overarching objective of client, architect and builder was to encapsulate the coastal character of the local area through the considered use of materials, colours and form. At the same time, we aimed to capture and frame water views from as many of the apartments as possible.
Sargood Street blends the natural characteristics of selected materials, paired with bright coastal whites, soft deep charcoals and light timber highlights. The built form references the local vernacular with sharp-edged boxed forms broken up by multiple textures and vertical screening elements.
Our client describes the end result as a truly flagship Altona apartment that has locals complimenting the blend of perfect location and visual appeal. The project architects, ClarkeHopkinsClarke, delivered possibly the ultimate accolade a builder can receive from an architect:
“They (Mancini Made) have a great design eye.”
