A Refined Architectural Statement
Over the past six months, Alumac Industries has proudly partnered with Sydney-based Giles Tribe Architects on the construction work for a bespoke Bronte residence, a beautifully resolved example of modern coastal architecture.
The project showcases how custom aluminium architectural elements can bring sharp, durable detailing to a minimalist palette, enhancing both form and function. Working directly with the architect allowed our team to refine every component for seamless integration and long-term performance.
Custom Architectural Metalwork
Alumac supplied a range of bespoke aluminium products, all designed and fabricated in our Sydney facility. Each element was precision-engineered to complement the building’s clean lines and coastal aesthetic while providing resilience against the harsh coastal environment.
- Centurion Window Shrouds: Powder-coated aluminium shrouds, a type of window hood) add depth and definition to the façade, framing the upper-level windows with crisp shadow lines and subtle dimension.
- Slat Screen Shrouds: Abodo Timber Cladding provide a balance of light control and privacy while maintaining the home’s contemporary rhythm.
- Custom Entry Gate: A sleek, vertically finned aluminium gate creates a strong visual entrance statement, tying into the architectural language of the façade.
- Downpipe Shrouds: Concealed aluminium covers provide a discreet and tidy finish to roof drainage points, ensuring continuity in design.
- Roof-Mounted Planter Boxes: Fabricated from marine-grade aluminium and integrated into the parapet, these planters bring a touch of greenery to the rooftop terrace, designed for longevity and ease of maintenance.
