Unique in YarravilleBlue Edge is a striking development that is wonderfully sympathetic to its surroundings. The existing Yarraville Hotel has been retained, refurbished and converted into a café/restaurant and two apartments, with the exterior walls restored to the original bluestone. A three-storey apartment development has been constructed on the remainder of the site, with extensive use of natural materials. Blue Edge offers a choice of two remaining one-bedroom apartments within a few minutes walk of the shops and cafés of the atmospheric Yarraville Village. The existing heritage structure has been maintained and fused with a modern yet sympathetic design by award-winning SJB Architects. This design not only retains and conserves the Yarraville Hotel, but also enhances the historic presentation and significance of the building. The historical and social significance of the hotel is maintained with the original structure continuing to function as a place of recreation.
