Client Challenge: Next to the Ballarat Golf Club sat an underutilised site with the potential to become something special. The challenge was to bring design discipline, quality architecture, and urban livability to a mid-scale development that could otherwise have become generic.

Our Solution: Macneil Group ran a design competition in order to attract some respected architect firms, who were asked to present urban design sketches to express their vision for the site. Ultimately, Sydney-based Marchese Partners were awarded the contract and went on to lead the masterplan and architecture. We delivered the 27-villa development in four stages, each home individually titled and tailored for views, privacy, and open-plan living. Landscaping and vehicle movement were considered from the outset to create a coherent, walkable community coupled with generous garages.

Result: Completed some years ago now, Aspect Villas remains one of the most desirable residential enclaves in Ballarat. Quality architecture that stands the test of time, thoughtful planning, and a commitment to detailed delivery continue to set it apart.
