Ideally located in close proximity to the beach, and leisure centres of Bay street and Church street, Sanctum Brighton appeals to users who desire the best of the Brighton lifestyle.

DKO designed both the architecture and interiors of Sanctum, as such DKO had the opportunity to create interior spaces that transitioned seamlessly to the outdoors. Open plan living areas have kitchens that open out to courtyards and balconies, referencing the indoor-outdoor lifestyle of the Californian beachside mansion.

The simple, cubist forms of Sanctum further reference mid-Century Modernist architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Rudolph Schindler, pioneers of the Californian mansion. The ground floor is a robust, stone-clad monolith. In contrast, the first floor volume soars over the ground, wrapped in a dark timber lattice. The material palette of dark timber and Melbourne bluestone add an air of sophistication and local history to give Sanctum a firm footing in its local context.
