Hawthorn

Ideally situated on Wattle Tree Road in Hawthorn, Hawthorn House is an architecturally-led collection of townhouses designed by Ascui & Co.

A series of arbours adorned with greenery

Led by warm, organic and texturally rich design gestures that serve as an enduring canvas for the landscaping, the development is defined by a layering of lush greenery which signals a moment of arrival and continues throughout.

A breakout courtyard offers a moment of quietude

Open-plan interiors extending to private courtyards

Comprised of nine residences, each with its own singular entry distinguished by landscaping, the entry from the street is an immersive experience that leverages landscaping to counterbalance the spirited urbanity of nearby Glenferrie Village.

An established Norfolk Island Pine is a cornerstone of the garden layer, which features a treelined entry path and a series of arbours adorned with greenery. A breakout courtyard between townhouses 4 and 5 offers a moment of botanical quietude. It breaks up the built environment into volumes in sync with the expansive heritage homes surrounding the site. With open-plan interiors extending to private courtyards and lush gardens via fully retractable sliding doors, indoor-outdoor living is prioritised, accompanied by spacious landscaped terraces perfect for entertaining. The use of local plantings—crepe myrtle, crab apples, tupelo trees, lilly pillys, daphnes, cardamom, gardenias and hydrangeas, sewn box, rosemary and evergreen screening—that foster a tranquil, trans-seasonal environment, while the inclusion of rooftop terraces and stylish outdoor kitchens elevates the luxury living experience.
