Vue de Mar launches in Hobart, Tas: luxury coastal residences designed for the art of rightsizing

Hobart, TAS — 1 October 2025 — New Haus Agency today announces the release of Vue de Mar, an exclusive collection of four architect-designed coastal residences at 3 Jenkins Street, Taroona, created for discerning downsizers who want to rightsize—trading high-maintenance family homes for refined, low-stress living without sacrificing space, comfort or style.

A collaboration between Giameos Developments and JAWS Architects, Vue de Mar sits moments from Hinsby Beach and the local village café scene. Here, mornings begin with sunrise over the River Derwent, and daily life moves to the rhythm of the water—calm, connected and deeply refined.

“Rightsizing isn’t about living smaller; it’s about living smarter,” said Ed McKay, Director, New Haus Agency. “Vue de Mar gives downsizers generous floorplans, private lifts, exceptional storage and all the modern comforts—so you keep the lifestyle you love, with far less upkeep.”

Too often, developments aimed at downsizers compromise on what matters most—whether it’s poor access, cramped floorplans, or limited storage,” said Ed McKay, Director of New Haus Agency. “With Vue de Mar, the developer and architect made a conscious decision to address these shortcomings. Every residence has been designed with ease of movement in mind, including lifts, generous proportions, and seamless indoor–outdoor living. Importantly, they persevered through the challenges of local government approvals to deliver a project that truly meets the needs of rightsizers—something our market has been calling out for but rarely receives.”

Inside, each residence has been conceived as a private sanctuary. Open-plan living flows to expansive terraces; interiors pair herringbone timber flooring with stone and marble finishes; and full-height glazing frames sweeping water views. Gaggenau appliances, marble benchtops and bespoke joinery anchor kitchens designed for everyday ease and effortless entertaining, supported by a butler’s pantry with an additional dishwasher and Vintec wine fridge.

Primary suites deliver the feel of a five-star retreat with walk-in robes, ambient lighting and abundant storage. Opulent ensuites feature freestanding baths, rain showers, dual vanities, underfloor heating, heated towel rails and automatic recessed blinds.

Technology and comfort intertwine to simplify day-to-day living: ducted heating and cooling, surround-sound speakers, commercial-grade lifts and oversized private garages (approx. 58 sqm) underscore practicality without compromise. Outdoors, marble-topped built-in kitchens with Weber barbecues invite year-round gatherings—ideal for lock-up-and-leave living that still embraces Tasmania’s coastal lifestyle.

Four distinct opportunities to rightsize—your way

Residence One | 315 m² (incl. garage) — The only residence with a private courtyard, offering a rare blend of space, privacy and versatility. A light, fresh interior palette with darker marble accents and a master suite with private balcony.

Residence Two | 293 m² (incl. garage) — Defined by balance, with generous living areas and intimate retreats, including a flexible sitting room for a library or study. A bold, sophisticated palette contrasts darker herringbone flooring with light marble.

Residence Three | 272 m² (incl. garage) — A refined approach to coastal living. Central open-plan living extends to the terrace, complemented by a private master balcony and dedicated study. Calm, contemporary finishes maximise natural light.

Residence Four | 298 m² (incl. garage) — The landmark residence. Light herringbone flooring with darker marble tones elevates space and luxury, while a Velux opening skylight draws in natural light and the terrace delivers spectacular views.
