Ripponlea Terrace embodies a design ethos that welcomes nature into the home. Created in collaboration with award-winning international practice Woods Bagot, this project is the result of a rigorous approach that fosters curiosity and collective thinking. Drawing on the site’s rich history and a deep understanding of the local context, Woods Bagot have arrived at a design that is timeless, enduring and steeped in its surroundings—an outcome made possible by the studio’s democratic, culturally inclusive and collaborative methodology.

Designed in collaboration with Woods Bagot, Ripponlea Terrace reflects the comfort, privacy, and natural connection of mid-20th-century low-rise housing. Expansive private gardens and impressive sight lines ensure residents enjoy views of Rippon Lea Estate, Port Philip Bay, and the horizon beyond. Prioritising a seamless relationship with nature, the architecture embraces open spaces and framed views, creating generous, light-filled homes that embrace their natural surroundings.

Designed to integrate with the surrounding private gardens, the interiors at Ripponlea Terrace centre on natural and tactile materials, and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, to create spaces that feel emotive, grounded and immersed in nature. Drawing on the principles of biophilic design, the facade acts as an interface between the interiors and the environment.

The Elsternwick Gardens neighbourhood comprises expansive private gardens, hospitality space, integrated arts program and a public park, alongside three distinct residential offerings: Gordon Place, Ripponlea Terrace and The Garden Pavilion. While each offering centres on an individual and site-specific design, all homes are tailored for owner-occupiers and will be built to the highest standard, a quality synonymous with Milieu. Designed as a natural extension of Rippon Lea Estate, the generous gardens are integrated seamlessly with the architecture to strengthen the sense of tranquillity that underscores the neighbourhood’s design.

Woods Bagot is a multi-disciplinary design studio with offices across Australia, Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia. Focused on innovation, sustainability and designing at human scale, the studio is well regarded for projects that resonate with their immediate environment. By putting people at the centre of the design process, the studio invariably delivers work that unifies landscape, architecture and interiors to foster culturally diverse and enduring communities.
