Located in one of Elsternwick’s most sought-after pockets, Elsternwick Gables is a dual-townhouse development that integrates seamlessly into its established residential setting. Drawing on the character of the Californian bungalow that previously occupied the site, the design adopts a timeless gabled form while introducing contemporary elements to support modern living. A single brick material was used throughout, including brick tiles forming the distinctive hipped roof. This material continuity is echoed in the entry sequence, where the roofline slopes downward before opening into a large void, creating a striking sense of openness and connection to the outdoors.
A small-scale project shaped by craftsmanship and enduring liveability.
Green space and natural light were key design drivers, with the architecture bending and shifting to maximise aspect, airflow, and outdoor connection. Internal spaces extend into the landscaped gardens, including a large cavity sliding door that opens the front living area to the garden beyond. Delivered in collaboration with LANDE Architects, Tillage’s role encompassed site acquisition, finance and structuring, stakeholder engagement and management, planning, construction oversight, and delivery, resulting in a boutique residential outcome defined by quality, attention to detail, and long-term value.
