where natural beauty unites with exceptional design
Fordham is an elegant composition inspired by the enamouring beauty of nature.
CLASSIC AND INNATELY REFINED, FORDHAM HAS BEEN CRAFTED TO WITHSTAND THE TESTS OF TIME.
With respect for classical proportions, Fordham’s architecture is deeply rooted in modernist design principles. The facade is commanding yet inherently elegant, blending in seamlessly with Camberwell’s iconic residential character while presenting an inspired and unique apartment offering. Exhibiting clean lines that imbue the building with a robust, horizontal quality, the facade is comprised of two symmetrical wings that extend out from a central foyer area.
The top level is recessed from the street, creating a podium effect while ensuring the building doesn’t feel imposing. Intentionally understated, a suite of timeless of materials has been selected for the apartments to withstand the tests of time, both aesthetically and literally.
Landscaping is designed to complement and soften the architecture, utilising a classic plant palette that celebrates Camberwell’s leafy streetscape. The entryway is punctuated by a series of steel frames – each one ornate with elegant climbing vines – creating a strong sense of arrival for Fordham’s residents. Exploring the beauty that emerges from within juxtapositions – between light and shade, organic and manmade, solids and voids – Fordham’s architecture is a harmonious, visually rich composition that captures the essence of refined apartment living.
