Clayworks

Description

A Community Shaped By Heritage

Clayworks is a modern urban community shaped by its heritage story. Built in the impression of what was once the largest pottery and porcelain manufacturing site in Melbourne’s West, design-led residences and enriched public amenities share tactile and artisanal qualities with the clay that runs deep into the foundations upon which they are built. Merging grassroots traditions borrowed from Sunshine’s working class history with contemporary lifestyle sensibilities essential to elevated living standards of today, Clayworks is a thoughtfully connected neighbourhood built upon old fashioned ideals.

Timelessness and precision design converge in the curation of an interior scheme that is evocatively natural and engagingly serene. Materials have been chosen for their organic and tactile qualities which are unified by an innately neutral palette. Layers of subdued materials are gently elevated by discerning design accents that align with the artisanal qualities of pottery. These are habitats of superbly cultivated liveability. The aesthetic appeal and immense durability of terrazzo introduces a design accent to interiors intrinsically connected to the quality of clay. Monochromatic tones are lifted by terrazzo’s tactile charm alongside the warmth of oak and wool, realising homes of bespoke beauty. Gentle concessions to the historic narrative that runs throughout the Clayworks precinct are again cleverly integrated into these enduring spaces, bringing the design language full circle.
