The latest addition to the cultural and built landscape is Federal Group’s boutique Saffire Freycinet resort, designed by Circa Architecture (formerly Morris-Nunn and Associates). Initially the project was more extensive, with a proposal developed by Terroir to accommodate 150 suites terracing across the site. Although the final scheme accommodates only twenty couples, it is hardly modest, with three different types of suites – deluxe, luxury and premium – ranging from 80 to 140 square metres, occupying the eleven-hectare site. Inherent in the brief were expectations of a particular level of luxurious amenity and a recognizable iconic form that could be used as part of the branding and marketing of the project. This represents a distinct shift from the pre-existing culture of minimal dwelling and direct engagement with the environment that underpins local coastal settlement patterns.
