At Aerie, every architectural element has been thoughtfully considered in response to its site. Layered, corbelled brickwork is central to that response. More than a defining architectural feature, it forms a protective edge that shelters the home from the activity of Beach Road, buffering traffic noise, enhancing privacy and creating a genuine sense of refuge. Beyond, the first-floor living spaces are carefully recessed within the building, allowing uninterrupted views across Port Phillip Bay while feeling protected from the movement and activity beyond.
Every detail has been designed to balance outlook with privacy, and openness with protection. The result is a home that feels deeply connected to its surroundings while offering a place of calm above them.
