One such insertion is Maison, a multi-level development where each home occupies an entire floor, each stretching some 240 square metres with views towards the city, the river and the immediate area of New Farm. Coming from luxury home backgrounds, both Graya and Frank Developments saw Maison as an opportunity to collaborate on a larger development and hone their years of experience and knowledge of local homeowners’ needs. 

Maison's edges Curving, there’s a sculptural, soft quality to the overall form, which reacts to the casual and coastal feel of the area. Solid masonry elements feel like disks stacked on top of one another, while also breaking up the overall mass. Each level comprises its own four-bedroom home, with access to uninterrupted views on all sides to reinforce the feeling of floating above the land and cityscape below. unlike a traditional unit building and instead much like a luxury home in the sky, Maison used extensive glazing to provide natural light and ventilation on all three sides to allow each of the units to feel like homes.

Maison is its own modern interpretation. The open feel of the homes embraces the living greenery, filling each of the residences with natural air and access to sunlight while creating outdoor spaces that can easily be occupied throughout the day. The subtropical landscaping veil and soft architectural curves respond in a contemporary and timeless manner to the unique surrounding environment. The seamless transition from indoor and outdoor living spaces are framed with mature gardens, as designer wanted to transform the curvaceous form into a living, breathing work of art.
