Como Terraces
South Yarra
Located on the bank of the Yarra River, a boutique collection of 39 residences represents a masterful exercise in architectural precision within a coveted Melbourne precinct. Establishing a new standard for South Yarra living, Como Terraces embodies riverside refinement while exploring how contemporary architecture can enhance its natural setting. Conceived by renowned Australian architecture and interior design studio, Carr, the design reads as a series of individual buildings – moving beyond the idea of a single, large block to create considered forms that appear as if they’ve been forged from the ground itself. Spread across eight, three-storey buildings, these residences traverse the local topography with subtle shifts and rotations, maximising the expansive views, space, and natural light in all residences. At the lower level, each building is positioned towards the river’s bend, while second-tier angles afford expansive views and maintain privacy.
“Como Terraces is a project that blends seamlessly with its location and stands out for its uniqueness. Together with Sterling Global, we worked to create elegant riverside residences that are both beautiful and architecturally sensitive to their surroundings. The result is an iconic development that leaves a lasting impression.”
Adrian Pozzo, CEO Cbus Property
“When you have an opportunity like Como Terraces, you want to be challenged and have protagonists in the room that will push modern accepted standards. In our view, Carr was that for us, particularly the use of materiality reflecting the beautiful earth coming through in the built form. Carr’s design is timeless and classic with its sophisticated sleek edge to architecture and interior design, which we found matched exactly with our vision and values. We aimed to develop an iconographic project that stands the test of time.”
Brandon Yeoh, Sterling Global Development Director
“Our intent for Como Terraces was to embrace the steeply sloping site rather than work against it, using subtle shifts, rotations and a central stairway to activate the frontage. The result doesn’t read as a single apartment block, but as a collection of individual buildings with their own character, meeting density goals while creating homes that feel personal and resolved.”
David Brooks, Director Carr
At the riverbank level, buildings align with the Yarra’s gentle curves while the upper tier rotates strategically to capture expansive vistas without compromising the privacy of each residence. This careful choreography ensures no home overlooks another, while respecting the privacy of the seven existing neighbouring buildings that frame the site. Here, the architecture follows the land’s natural contours, meandering and nestling into the site’s steep topography.
