Three-Story Luxury Residence — Balwyn, Melbourne

In July 2025, SKATE completed the full window and door supply for a three-story luxury private residence in Balwyn, one of Melbourne's most prestigious eastern suburbs. The property spans over 1,200 square meters across a basement level, main living floor, and attic story, combining European classical architectural detailing with contemporary interior design — a high-specification brief that demanded both aesthetic precision and certified performance.

SKATE supplied approximately 230 square meters of custom fenestration across the entire building envelope, including 12 awning-and-fixed combination window units, 10 sliding patio doors, 6 electric skylights, 3 oversized curved-top floor-to-ceiling windows spanning two full stories, and 4 specialty shaped windows. Every product was manufactured to AS2047 certification with full test documentation, and delivered as a complete single-supplier package — from basement to attic.

From the builder's perspective, the core challenge was sourcing: finding a single manufacturer capable of producing certified, fully customized fenestration across six distinct product categories — awning windows, fixed glazing, sliding doors, electric skylights, curved-top floor-to-ceiling units, and specialty shaped windows — while meeting AS2047 and providing complete documentation for building approval.

This combination is routinely beyond what domestic Australian suppliers can offer within a competitive price point, and beyond what most Chinese manufacturers can offer with genuine AS2047 certification rather than self-declaration.

For SKATE, what another supplier might describe as a challenge was a standard delivery: curved aluminum profiles for the arched-top units, motorized skylight systems with rain-sensor automation, oversized glazing panels for the two-story window wall, and specialty-shaped units requiring individual engineering drawings — all produced within a single factory system with unified quality control and a single set of shipping documents.

The project was completed and handed over in July 2025. Following soft-furnishing completion, the builder invited SKATE's representative for a site walkthrough — a reflection of the working relationship that had developed across the project. The builder specifically noted satisfaction with the product quality and the responsiveness of SKATE's after-sales coordination throughout installation.

The builder has indicated intent to engage SKATE for a subsequent development project — a medium-density residential precinct near Melbourne Airport — representing a continuation of the supply relationship established on this Balwyn residence.

For SKATE, this project confirmed a repeatable delivery model for the Australian luxury residential market: AS2047-certified custom fenestration, single-supplier coordination across multiple product categories, and local representative support — delivered from a 160,000 sqm factory in Beijing with 27 years of export experience.
