Developed by MAB and an award winning team of design professionals, Altamira Canterbury has been thoughtfully designed to sit comfortably within its established surroundings, drawing inspiration from the heritage architecture and garden setting that define this prized Canterbury address.
The contemporary architecture is expressed through refined proportions, elegant detailing and carefully layered brickwork—creating a timeless aesthetic that feels both modern and enduring.
Heritage elements are respectfully woven into the design, including the neo-gothic façade of the historic Sunday School Building and the mid-century character of the neighbouring Canterbury Baptist Church.
Beyond its architectural presence, Altamira has been designed to enhance everyday comfort and wellbeing. A considered ventilation system supports improved indoor air quality throughout each residence, contributing to a healthier environment year-round.
Acoustic performance has also been prioritised. Double-glazed windows and doors, pre-cast concrete walls and high-performance insulation work together to reduce noise transfer, creating calm, quiet interiors that feel private and peaceful.
At Altamira, quality is fundamental to how each residence has been designed and delivered. Durable, timeless materials have been carefully selected for their longevity, low maintenance and enduring appeal — creating homes that feel as considered and beautiful years from now as they do on day one.
Throughout construction, registered external engineers work alongside the project team to monitor and review all works, ensuring compliance with Australian Standards.
Altamira is compliant with Victoria’s Better Apartment Design Standards (BADS), supporting generous proportions, functional layouts, excellent storage and meaningful private open space.
