The Boulevard comes to life through considered design, shaped by its elevated riverside setting. The vision called for a residence that maximised views across its surrounding landscape of the Maribyrnong River, while prioritising generous proportions, luxury amenities and seamless indoor–outdoor living. Balancing architectural expression with buildability, the project integrates innovative construction systems, high-performance glazing and carefully detailed finishes to create a residence defined by openness and functionality.









Skylights and raked ceilings draw light inward




In collaboration
Philosophy
Created in partnership with Haven’s own architects, the home required careful planning and technical precision to respond to its elevated site and unique block geometry. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing, skylights and raked ceilings work to draw natural light deep into the home while visually extending living spaces toward the landscape beyond. Every detail reflects a shared commitment to craftsmanship, spatial quality and architectural intent.



Project Highlights
Innovative construction methods, including formed concrete and insulated wall systems, were embraced to navigate the site’s complexity, opening opportunities for material exploration and performance. Feature elements such as the fully glazed elevator shaft, custom aluminium cavity doors and an offset spine-back staircase celebrate both functionality and design expression. Seamless detailing reinforces the home’s sense of scale and luxury, with every element carefully considered to enhance spatial flow, light and liveability.
