Originally constructed as a display home in 2006, Arcadia has been thoughtfully reimagined into a refined contemporary waterfront home. Set on a rare wedge-shaped allotment of approximately 1,169sqm, the property commands over 30 metres of uninterrupted water frontage on the Hindmarsh Island Marina Quays.
The design focused on elevating every inch of the house, inside and out. The frontage was dramatically transformed and enhanced to create a warm and welcoming presence, setting the stage before even stepping inside. Stone and axon cladding, in complimentary colours ,paid respect to the surrounding environment more so than its previous aesthetic. The rear of the dwelling presented an excellent opportunity to capture the uninterrupted waterfront views from every perspective. Majestic iconic double gables extending up to the second storey, created opportunity for the second storey balcony to extend across the back of the upper floor living space & naturally created a roof for the alfresco below.
