Visually, East End’s exterior takes heavy cues from the existing heritage architecture, while the interiors make full use of the area’s coastal beauty, with high windows maximising both natural light and the striking views. Residents will live a best-of-both-worlds existence, with sandy shores and rolling waves a leisurely stroll away, while the city’s totally integrated light rail ensures that th
is peninsula is a snap to get in and out of for those who work further afield. Of course, with brand new retail and commercial spaces peppering the street, plenty of those who call East End home will be able to enjoy the working week from within their own neighbourhood. And though the smell of sea salt blows in on the breeze, it may be tough to get a whiff of it during the day, with the mouth-watering aroma of roasted coffee beans, sauteed garlic and baked bread wafting up from the cafes and restaurants lining the streets. Throw in a host of boutique night-time venues, and evenings will be a cultural and culinary delight.
