Gisborne St, Bulleen
Three stunning new townhouses in beautiful Gisborne Street, Bulleen — designed by Taouk Architects — set a new benchmark for contemporary living. Each residence blends refined materials and considered detailing to create homes that are both elegant and enduring.
A challenging sloping site presented significant constraints, with water runoff a primary concern. Abecon’s expert knowledge of site conditions and civil solutions was pivotal: tailored drainage strategies, precise grading and retaining systems were implemented to manage stormwater effectively while preserving the design intent. The result is a resilient, low-maintenance development that harmonises with the landscape rather than fighting it.
Interiors showcase premium finishes throughout. Natural stone anchors living spaces with tactile warmth, while bespoke joinery provides refined storage and seamless flow. Carefully selected imported tiles elevate wet areas and floors, delivering a cohesive, sophisticated palette that complements the architectural language.
Thoughtful planning ensures abundant natural light, clever spatial zoning and outdoor connections that suit both families and professionals. Attention to acoustics, thermal performance and durable finishes means these townhouses are crafted to perform long term — an investment in comfort, quality and legacy.
Located in peaceful Bulleen yet well-connected to amenities, the trio of townhouses offers contemporary design, technical excellence and lasting value — an ideal choice for discerning buyers seeking a refined, future-focused home.
Rubens Grove, Canterbury
Rubens Grove, Canterbury — our newest high-end custom home — beautifully blends contemporary luxury with the enduring charm of Canterbury’s historic architecture. Designed for refined living, the residence includes a 3-metre-deep basement with a dedicated theatre room, an internal lift for seamless access across levels, and above-standard insulation to ensure superior comfort and improved energy efficiency. Crafted using modern construction practices and meticulous attention to detail, the project carefully preserves the rich character and period detailing that define Canterbury while delivering the enhanced performance, everyday convenience and sophisticated finishes of a bespoke, next-generation home.
The project is being constructed on a tight site with a steep slope, requiring careful staging, precise access planning and specialist equipment to maintain safety and efficiency; abecon’s extensive experience with constrained-access projects ensures logistics, temporary works and material deliveries are coordinated to the minute, enabling earthworks, foundations and structural works to proceed without interruptions while preserving site safety and minimising neighbour impact.
