Veil Brighton is a boutique collection of nine townhouses at 17 Rooding Street, Brighton, developed by JL PLACE. Thoughtfully crafted to capture the essence of modern bayside living, each home is anchored by a generous private courtyard — a tranquil green heart that connects light-filled interiors with nature and creates a rare sense of retreat within Brighton’s vibrant coastal community. These private sanctuaries define Veil Brighton’s character, offering a seamless balance between openness and privacy, calm and connection. Every residence is designed to elevate daily living through natural light, sustainable architecture and refined finishes, while enjoying close proximity to Brighton’s renowned dining, shopping, schools and transport connections. Built with enduring quality at its foundation, the project includes a comprehensive 10-year building guarantee to uphold long-term confidence and craftsmanship.<h3>Interiors designed for comfort, longevity, and modern bayside living</h3>Every residence at Veil Brighton has been meticulously considered to foster both beauty and function. Interiors by Schmidt &amp; Pang Architects feature oak flooring, natural stone, and grey-toned tiles that create a refined, cohesive palette throughout. The kitchens are crafted as central gathering spaces, equipped with premium Miele appliances and natural stone benchtops that combine durability with understated elegance. Ground-floor bedrooms and flexible study spaces provide convenience and adaptability for modern lifestyles, while upstairs, walk-in robes and soft carpets introduce a sense of quiet comfort. Bathrooms evoke the serenity of a spa retreat, finished with rich oak vanities, porcelain tiles, and brushed nickel fittings. The overall interior composition reflects a timeless aesthetic, one that pairs natural materials with thoughtful detailing to ensure every space feels enduring and complete.<h3>Sustainable townhouse design with a 6-star energy rating</h3>Sustainability underpins the architectural vision for Veil Brighton. Each townhouse has been designed to achieve a 6-star energy rating, with a strong focus on performance and long-term liveability. Natural ventilation, double glazing, and high-quality insulation work together to maintain thermal comfort while reducing energy consumption. The homes are oriented and shaded to maximise natural light and passive heating, complemented by LED lighting throughout to improve energy efficiency. Water tanks, water-efficient fittings, and bicycle parking encourage a low-impact lifestyle, supporting a more environmentally conscious way of living. Every detail, from material selection to ventilation systems, contributes to a design philosophy centred on wellbeing, where the built form connects seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.<h3>Private courtyards and tranquil landscapes by John Patrick</h3>Every townhouse at Veil Brighton enjoys a private courtyard- a peaceful retreat defined by soft greenery and sculpted form. Thoughtfully composed landscapes by John Patrick Landscape Architects complement the architecture with texture and natural serenity, creating an exclusive garden setting unique to each home.<h3>Bayside lifestyle in Brighton</h3>Positioned in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after coastal suburbs, Veil Brighton offers residents a lifestyle defined by both connection and calm. Brighton’s signature balance of natural beauty and cosmopolitan amenity is on full display, from its pristine beaches and tree-lined streets to its renowned cafés, restaurants, and boutiques.

Developer JL Place is ensuring buyers at its Veil Brighton project have all the right ingredients to make a confident purchase.

To instil confidence in the market, the development was launched when construction was already well underway, helping to alleviate any concerns about the project proceeding. For a limited time, JL Place is now offering buyers the opportunity to secure a townhouse with a five per cent deposit. The initiative aims to assist those who may not have enough savings for a 10 per cent deposit but have sufficient funds to meet bank lending requirements at completion.

Several of the nine two- and three-bedroom townhouses, tucked away off the tree-lined Rooding Street, have already been snapped up, a sign of demand for&nbsp;low-maintenance, owner-occupier-focused housing in Brighton, which continues to outpace supply, particularly for homes that retain scale, privacy, and outdoor space.
</article>

Townhouses account for a relatively small share of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brighton-vic-3186">Brighton</a>’s housing mix, yet they have become increasingly sought after by downsizers and local buyers seeking to remain in the suburb without the upkeep of a standalone home. At Veil, each residence is arranged across two levels and anchored by a generous private courtyard, allowing natural light to penetrate deep into the interiors while maintaining a strong sense of separation from the street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355754]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/schmidt-pang-architects">Schmidt &amp; Pang</a>, the architecture has been intentionally restrained, presenting as a single, cohesive residence from Rooding Street rather than a conventional multi-dwelling development. Clean lines and robust materiality are softened by layered landscaping by John Patrick Landscape Architects, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on privacy and integration within its residential context.

Interiors favour a neutral, durable palette suited to long-term living, with oak flooring, grey-toned tiles, natural stone surfaces, and brushed nickel finishes throughout. Kitchens are equipped with Miele appliances and stone benchtops, while several homes include a ground-floor bedroom or flexible study, supporting accessibility and adaptability over time.

Sustainability has been embedded into the design, with each townhouse targeting a 6-star energy rating supported by double glazing, natural ventilation, high-grade insulation, LED lighting, and water-efficient fittings. Secure basement parking, bicycle storage, water tanks, and NBN readiness further position the homes for contemporary, lower-impact living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355771]

The introduction of the five per cent deposit structure aims to improve buyer financial flexibility while securing a foothold in Brighton ahead of completion, which is scheduled for late 2026. With prices starting from $1.529 million, the development has already recorded early sales momentum, with two residences secured prior to formal marketing.

Veil Brighton adds to JL PLACE’s growing portfolio of low-scale, architecturally driven residential projects, delivered in collaboration with builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/jeniton">JENITON</a>, whose involvement brings a further layer of delivery confidence to the project as construction continues on site.

JL Place offers five per cent deposits at Veil Brighton townhouses

On a quiet residential street in Brighton, boutique developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jl-place">JL PLACE</a> has introduced a rare addition to the suburb’s traditionally single-dwelling streetscape.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/veil-brighton-17-rooding-street-brighton-vic-3186">Veil Brighton</a>, located at 17 Rooding Street, comprises just nine townhouses, a modest but deliberate response to local demand for low-maintenance housing in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held bayside suburbs.

Townhouses remain a minority in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brighton-vic-3186">Brighton</a>’s housing mix, accounting for only 22 per cent of dwellings. Despite this, they continue to present an appealing alternative for those seeking scale and privacy without the upkeep of a standalone home. So much so that two of the homes were snapped up before any marketing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355771]

Veil reflects the shift toward lower-maintenance homes, offering a mix of two- and three-bedroom residents across two levels, with each home anchored by a generous private courtyard, a rare feature in Brighton that draws abundanty natural light deep into the interiors and provides a heightened sense of seclusion form the street.&nbsp;

Several homes also feature a ground-floor bedroom, delivering everyday ease and long-term comfort while still maintaining the sophistication of a two-level design.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/schmidt-pang-architects">Schmidt &amp; Pang</a>, the façade has been designed to appear as a single residence from the street, underscoring the project’s emphasis on subtlety and integration within its residential context.

The built form is expressed through clean lines and robust materiality, softened by layered planting and greenery throughout the site by John Patrick Landscape Architects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355852]

Interiors favour natural finishes, oak flooring, grey-toned tiles, and natural stone surfaces, complemented by brushed nickel fittings. Kitchens feature Miele appliances and stone benchtops, while bathrooms are styled to evoke a calm, spa-like experience.

Sustainability has informed both architecture and specification. A 6-star energy rating is supported by design features such as double glazing, natural ventilation, and high-grade insulation. LED lighting, water-efficient fittings, and bicycle parking encourage a lower-impact lifestyle across the development.

Each townhouse includes secure basement parking and is covered by a 10-year building guarantee.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355854]

With new townhouses in Brighton remaining in limited supply and demand from downsizers consistently strong, these private garden homes represent an increasingly scarce opportunity in one of Melbourne's most prestigious and highly sought-after postcodes.

Prices start from $1.529 million. Construction has commenced, with completion slated for late 2026.

Veil Brighton adds to JL PLACE’s growing portfolio of architecturally-led, low-scale housing. The project has been delivered in collaboration with builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/jeniton">JENITON</a>, continuing JL PLACE’s focus on design quality and craftsmanship.
