The Warleigh, Brighton VIC, Australia (2015)

The Warleigh Brighton is a seaside residential complex with around half of its footprint dedicated to open space, including shared gardens and lawns designed by Jack Merlo.

SJB Architects says the overall feel is about solidity with a contemporary edge.

Street Furniture Australia was called on to create three custom day beds for the outdoor space, featuring spotted gum timber battens, oil finished, and HDG support frames.

“It’s paramount as a designer to produce spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but usable and functional,” says Jack Merlo.

“The outdoor areas allocated to many of the homes are almost as large as the apartments themselves. Generous timber decks and the use of bluestone and natural stone materials give a warm palette and provide a complementary connection between inside and out.”
