Architectural quality, livability and response to context are important considerations that drive Plus Architecture’s design of independent living projects.

The Brighton on Bay features 77 independent living units with communal areas, basement car park and retail space. Located on the main street of Brighton, the challenge was to be respectful to the neighbouring Victorian retail face whist making an innovative architectural contribution.

The design solution physically annexes the two existing buildings, allowing them to be integrated and celebrated through rhythm and detailing complexity. Residential community is forged through the idea of a garden façade allowing for privacy and identity.
