Light and shadow
Architecture studio ADDARC has created Avenue Residences, an exclusive development of nine townhouses finished to the highest standards in one of the most beautiful locations on Melbourne Bay. The buildings are distinguished by their sloping roofs, the succession of which creates a striking urban line in a largely residential area. To reinforce this line, QUARTZ-ZINC® standing seam cladding wraps the building from the roof to the facade. The soffits, also clad in zinc and combined with facing brick and burnt wood cladding, offer a discreet note of refinement, playing with light and shadow. The harmony continues inside with matching shades of colour for the joinery. The various applications of zinc on the building reinforce its shape. The choice of zinc also reflects the architects’ desire to use sustainable materials.
