The overarching objective for AMA Place was to capture the coastal character of the local area through considered use of materiality, colour palette and built form, as well as to capture and frame water views from as many of the apartments as possible.

To capture Altona's coastal character we harnessed the natural characteristics of the selected materials and paired them with bright coastal whites, soft deep charcoals and light timber highlights. We considered materials that would withstand the elements such as concrete and perforated metal, to resist corrosion and weathering.
