Elema is Brighton’s newest development, featuring 12 townhomes that offer a fresh alternative to traditional houses and apartments in one of Melbourne’s top blue-chip suburbs.
Brighton townhomes offer buyers ideal balance,
The distinctive design of these three-bedroom, three-storey townhomes stands out as a key selling point for prospective buyers.
Architect Martino Leah and interior designer Brahman Perera have creatively drawn inspiration from the four essential elements: earth, fire, water, and air.
Moreover, each element is thoughtfully integrated into various design features and fittings throughout the townhomes, enhancing their unique appeal.
“Residents in Brighton are looking for alternatives beyond just large homes or apartments. As developers, we aim to meet this demand,” explained Rob Moolman, managing director at Kervale, the project’s developer.
They are so confident in this opportunity that they have already completed the demolition phase. Additionally, construction is set to begin in Q4 of this year.
The pricing strategy is also attracting attention, offering a more accessible entry point into Brighton’s expensive and tightly-held real estate market.
The residences are priced between $1.8 million and $2.4 million, appealing to a diverse range of buyers.
“There has been interest from first-time homebuyers, young families, and downsizers,” he added, highlighting the broad appeal of the project.
Contemporary minimalist style
The minimalist design by Martino Leah and Brahman Perera showcases high-end finishes and fixtures throughout the townhomes.
Natural textures and color palettes enhance the design details, ranging from oak flooring to luxurious wool carpets.
This thoughtfully crafted approach allows residents to personalize their spaces with their own décor, creating a unique environment.
Furthermore, a light-filled, open-plan living area connects seamlessly to the landscaped courtyard designed by Acre.
This design effectively blends interior and exterior spaces, promoting a harmonious living experience.
“Its simplicity is a key factor that we believe will resonate with Brighton buyers,” said Mr. Moolman.
“With a focus on beautiful textures and tactile finishes, we are confident they will be truly impressed,” he added.
Homes designed for the future
Kervale consistently strives to be mindful of its environmental impact on the built environment. This commitment ensures the creation of environmentally sustainable and responsible buildings.
“This consideration has shaped the overall design concept,” explained Mr. Moolman.
Sustainability has been a central focus throughout the design process. As a result, these townhomes are designed to endure while also minimizing utility costs.
In addition to achieving a seven-star NatHERS Energy rating, several environmentally friendly features have been incorporated.
These include external multi-functional screens for climate regulation, drought-tolerant landscaping, and solar panels for energy efficiency.
“We aim to create homes that people can enjoy living in for many years to come,” said Mr. Moolman.
