Design Excellence
Design Concept: The incorporation of a mezzanine level paves way for a double volume concept. This concept creates a stately grand entrance as well as allowing for more liveable area without breaching the envelope control set out by U.R.A. Family rooms / areas are also incorporated, to have that open communal space in between the private spaces.
Exterior Aesthetics: The Carrara development is heavily inspired by the quarries of Carrara, Central Italy, being widely known for some of the world’s finest marble. The Carrara marble gives off a strong, stylish and sophisticated look, allowing the light to penetrate several millimeters into the stone before being diffused to give a lustrous texture.The idea of this design is to create an inward focus approach which puts emphasis on social
interaction while creating a tranquil transition between public and private space. Giving the users a unique sense of arrival as well as a sense of space & privacy. Relationship between architecture and landscape is subtly displayed, creating a sense of indoor and outdoor living.
The overall square shape form and windows at the side allows natural light and ventilation to reach in all remotest corners. This play of materials, space and forms flows seamlessly for each home inside-out, and outside-in making strong connections between architecture, landscape and interior.
Interior Aesthetics & Finishes: With the world transitioning to electric vehicles, each home will is future proofed with an electronic vehicle charging isolator. A traction home elevator is also incorporated to offer seamless accessibility to all levels of the home.
Facilities: A 1.2m deep elongated lap pool with a jacuzzi area, to allow for cool dips on hot sunny days. Electricial vehicle charging isolator points have been provisioned to future proof the home.
Maintainability: The exterior façade is cladded with a Carrara inspired homogeneous tile which is non-porous to maintain its longevity. Timber inspired homogeneous tiles are also used at the balconies and pool deck(s) as they are weather proof and anti-slip for easy maintenance and safety. Dark-toned, rough textured homogeneous tiles are also used for the car porch which can be easily cleaned from tyre grime or the occasional oil leaks from vehicles.
Design Considerations for Unit Layouts: Each home’s layout has been meticulously configured to ensure a seamless transition to each and every part of the home. The elongated lap pools have been build to its maximum length which runs parallel to the living and dining areas, giving its residents pool views throughout. The family area on the mezzanine level allows for another informal living room which overlook the formal living area below. The master bedrooms have been placed towards the rear of the home which faces the quieter streets of Bournemouth Road.
