Esplanade House has a simple, limited palette on an exceptionally tight site. Yet the team at Mills Gorman Architects has worked its magic to create a light and spacious contemporary home in the heart of Port Melbourne that is nothing short of spectacular. This flexible and highly functional space for a mature family of four contains the main living spaces on the upper level overlooking the terraced garden and pool. Downstairs houses two bedrooms, a bathroom, family room and kitchen opening up to the intriguing rear garden. The simple palette of Petersen D91 bricks, glass and black colour bond roofing and side walls with a standing seam bring this edgy, contemporary home to life. The owners chose the Petersen bricks as they saw them elsewhere and fell in love with their textural beauty and tone. Though this is the first time Mills Gorman has used Petersen bricks, it’s quite possibly not the last. “We are pretty wrapped in them; the Petersen bricks are wonderful. They’re such a beautiful brick and it adds an extra layer of quality to the whole building … The brick stands out because the colour bond roofing and the side walls are black and the brick is a light grey and it has beautiful textures to it, so they go together beautifully,” says Peter.
