Spacious living that embraces modern luxury

Our Brighton project involved designing a luxurious, short-term lifestyle residence that balanced the client’s desire for highly personalised spaces with a clear focus on resale value. This case study shows how thoughtful planning and design can create a bespoke home that also appeals to future buyers in the premium property market.

the Brief

Creating a personal haven with an eye on resale

The client purchased a large block in Brighton, Victoria intending to build a striking new home to enjoy for a few years before selling. They wanted a space tailored to their daily routines and passions—like gaming, cinema, and outdoor living—while ensuring the design would attract a broad luxury audience when listed for sale.

Balancing distinctive features and market appeal

The key challenge was blending bold, customised elements with universal appeal. We designed a three-level home where each space delivers a memorable experience. Personal touches—a hidden bar, a private cinema, a sunken garden—were thoughtfully integrated without compromising flow or versatility, ensuring the house would feel both unique and broadly desirable.

 
 

The Results

A home that delivers luxury and flexibility

The completed residence exceeded the client’s expectations for comfort and style. Every feature—premium finishes, clear zoning, and seamless connections between levels—was carefully considered to create impact and practicality. The result is a home that feels personal today but remains highly attractive and functional for future owners.

Through strategic design, the Brighton project fulfilled the client’s dream of a short-term luxury retreat while protecting long-term resale value. The home showcases how customised spaces and smart planning can coexist beautifully, ensuring both immediate enjoyment and enduring market appeal.
