Ocean Homes: Premium Laundry Projects & Construction in Melbourne CBD

/0 Comments/in , /by

Modern urban living demands smart, stylish, and functional laundry spaces. At Ocean Homes, we’re transforming Melbourne CBD homes with bespoke laundry designs that blend aesthetics, efficiency, and practicality. Serving residents and developers throughout the city, we specialize in creating tailored laundry solutions—from space planning and premium materials to plumbing, electrical work, and finishing touches. Explore how we reshape mundane utility zones into standout spaces.

1. Why Invest in a Laundry Renovation?

While kitchens and bathrooms often take design spotlight, laundry rooms are the unsung heroes of daily life. Yet by dedicating attention to this area, homeowners unlock a world of benefits:

  • Daily impact: The average household dedicates 2–3 hours weekly to laundry. Upgrading the space boosts day-to-day functionality.

  • Increased home value: Renovated laundries with efficient layouts, storage, and built-ins appeal to buyers.

  • Optimized space use: Especially in CBD apartments, a clever laundry design saves space and enhances utility.

  • Adaptation to modern living: With busy lifestyles and smaller footprints, laundries must be efficient, multitasking areas.

2. Ocean Homes Difference: Melbourne-CBD Expertise

Founded in Melbourne and now prominent in the CBD, Ocean Homes understands urban design constraints and local building regulations. What sets us apart:

  1. Central-City Experience
    Whether in Docklands, Southbank, or the Melbourne CBD core, we navigate apartment layouts, plumbing routes, and utilities smoothly to ensure seamless renovations.

  2. Comprehensive In‑House Team
    Our team includes designers, builders, plumbers, and electricians who collaborate from day one, avoiding coordination delays and misaligned visions.

  3. Client‑Centric Process
    From initial meeting to final inspection, we prioritize communication and transparency—budget, timeline, and updates.

  4. High‑Quality Materials & Finishes
    Ocean Homes delivers durable cabinetry, splashbacks, fixtures, benchtops, flooring—all tailored to client taste and city living demands.

3. Ocean Homes’ Laundry Project Process in the CBD

We follow a refined eight-step process to ensure each project is tailored, durable, and delightfully functional:

Step 1: Consultation & Site Evaluation

Our team meets you at your Melbourne CBD residence to discuss requirements—apartment layout, plumbing constraints, storage, energy efficiency, aesthetic preferences—and assess feasibility. We guide you on cost range and timeline.

Step 2: Concept Development

Our designers craft mood boards and initial layouts. Options may include compact European laundries, hidden behind cabinetry, or full-scale bespoke rooms. Renderings help you visualize styles, materials, and flow.

Step 3: Material & Fixture Selection

Together, we select cabinetry finishes, splashback tiles, countertops (quartz, timber, concrete-look), laundry tubs and tapware (e.g. matte brass, chrome), and appliances. Australian trends increasingly favour concrete-look benchtops and minimalist handles.

Step 4: Planning & Approvals

We manage required permits and compliance with building codes and strata rules. Our plans include plumbing, electrical layouts, and cabinetry drawing.

Step 5: Demolition & Construction

Our licensed trades begin work—removing old cabinetry, relocating plumbing/electrical, prepping floors/walls for tiling—while respecting neighbours via noise-friendly hours.

Step 6: Installation

We install cabinets, benchtops, sinks, splashbacks, plumbing, electrical fixtures, lighting, painting, and final flooring.

Step 7: Quality Assurance & Styling

After installation, we walk through together to inspect equipment performance, hydraulic flows, door alignment, tile grouting, and cleaning. We add details like matching baskets, hanging rails, bench styling, and task lighting.

Step 8: Handover & Aftercare

Ocean Homes provides documentation and a warranty. We ensure satisfaction and remain available for support.

4. Tailored Laundry Solutions for CBD Residences

Ocean Homes customizes design options to fit your space and lifestyle:

Compact “European” Laundry

Ideal for small apartments, every inch is functional—stackable washer and dryer, integrated sink, fold-out benches, overhead cabinetry, and drying racks. Thoughtful pull-outs enhance efficiency.

Hidden Cabinet Laundries

We create visually integrated laundries within cabinetry walls e.g., behind bi‑fold doors or flush cabinets. When closed, they maintain a clean, cohesive home aesthetic.

Dual‑Purpose Zones

Combine laundry areas with mudrooms or pantry storage—perfect for entry apartments. Features include cubbies, benches, boot racks, and hanging rails under drying racks.

Luxury Wet‑Area Rooms

Larger apartments may support wet-room laundries. These feature full waterproof tiling, floor drainage, freestanding tubs, and spacious benchtops, combining utility and design flair.

5. Smart Inclusions Trend in CBD Laundry Design

Melbourne homeowners increasingly demand smart features:

  • Pull‑out ironing boards concealed within shallow cabinets

  • In‑cabinet drying racks, recessed lighting, and outlet placement

  • Under‑bench bins, sorting baskets, and built-in hampers

  • Eco‑friendly appliances, sensor-dry dryers, front-loading machines

  • Commercial-grade sinks and fold‑down benches for ease of maintenance

  • Task lighting, matte-bronze tapware, quartz or concrete-look benchtops

  • Ventilation systems for moisture control, essential in apartments

These details elevate typical laundries into stylish, efficient zones.

6. Melbourne Trends & Customer Inspiration

Here’s a snapshot of design inspirations shaping our projects:

  • Concrete-Look Benchtops: Popular in Port Melbourne industrial-style apartments.

  • Compact Scandinavian Makeovers: Timeless simplicity with tall cabinets and light timbers; Melbourne homeowners love the minimalist look.

  • European Concept Drying Cabinets: Space-saving designs popular in Docklands and CBD studios.

Ocean Homes adapts these ideas uniquely for each client.
