Verge Projects

Modern elegance meets bold design in our latest custom home build in Camberwell.
This striking double storey residence showcases slim bricks that create a refined, contemporary facade, anchored by a statement piece curved brick column that commands attention from every angle.
Clean lines, considered detailing, and timeless materials come together to deliver a home that’s both sophisticated and enduring.

As always, a big thank you to all trades, consultants & suppliers involved 🙏
