A striking facade and textured brickwork with subtle angles, Balaclava is an exciting development and a welcome addition to the surrounding streetscape of William Street. The architecture exudes a dynamic play of natural light, movement and shadow, conveyed by multi-faceted exteriors and textured surfaces.
Continuing with a lighter palette of natural tones, the materials of the interiors of Balaclava complement the architecture. The use of timber throughout is integral to the friendly atmosphere of the residences, the courtyard transitions seamlessly with the interior living room, as well as the outdoor natural environment.
This focus on the cohesion of the building with the streetscape is cemented by using more suburban materials in slightly more considered ways, like the grey timber in the external facade, which contrasts and softens the striking effect of weatherboard cladding and textured brick.
