Marrying timeless character with modern elegance, this exclusive collection offers the rare chance to own a home that speaks to both heritage and contemporary life.

Pride of Place
Over the past 30 years, Primrose has quietly built a reputation as one of the region's most respected and accomplished property developers.
Their work is contemporary in spirit, yet rooted in a deep respect for place, tradition and material integrity. Each project is shaped by a pursuit of timelessness and an architectural language defined by simplicity, elegance and lasting quality. While their influences span from local vernacular to modernist ideas, every Primrose home carries a distinct identity, one that is considered, characterful, and unmistakably their own.
