Wake to uninterrupted views across Port Phillip Bay to the Melbourne skyline, swim in a heated pool all year, and watch the sunset from the balcony.

Deja View from the street: three levels of glass and dark timber above a heated pool

01 · The arrival

Through the gate, and you're home.

The electric gate slides closed behind you. Park in the double garage, then step inside onto polished terrazzo, beside a floating timber staircase.

A private lift reaches every level, so grandparents, prams and suitcases all get the easy way up. Somewhere above you, the bay is waiting.

Fire up the barbecue and set the outdoor table. Nobody needs to be anywhere.

The best seat in Mount Martha.

The sun drops into the bay and the sky turns amber, then rose, then violet. In winter, migrating whales pass through.

The floors glow
like the Milky Way.

The central lift helped the older guests with creaking knees. Our group ranged from four to eighty.
