About The Entry

Designed and delivered by Rob Mills Architecture & Interiors, Hampden by RMA is a collection of nine large-scale, three-bedroom luxury residences that bear all the hallmarks of our award-winning practice: intelligent design, healthy materials, crafted textures, enduring value and an intrinsic connection to location, in this case the leafy streets of Armadale.

The building is distinguished by its elegant brickwork across its three-storey facade and fence. Rob Mils personally selected a ghost grey brick by Krause Bricks principally for its honest materiality and handcrafted texture. These bricks allowed Rob and his team to create arched, deeply-set windows, now delivering subtly changing shadows across the textured facade throughout the day.

At Hampden by RMA, we have drawn upon our deep knowledge of single residences and apartment projects to create a technologically advanced, sustainable and healthy building. With a thoughtful approach to space, light, texture and acoustics, its practical design ensures that daily needs are met, with three bedrooms, spacious living areas and large kitchens with butler’s pantries. A light palette with earthy tones was chosen to reflect sunlight and the natural quality of the bricked arches. Our practice is known for its highly collaborative approach, from working with skilled craftspeople to meticulously designing every detail of plans and finishes with clients.

It is our belief that we flourish in spaces that harness the elements of light, air and space and this building has been designed with these very principles in mind to provide its occupants with a superior quality of life.
