Calm, open spaces and expansive views informed the design of these luxury apartments. Overlooking Mosman Bay, the client’s $4.25 million project includes the development of a four-storey building and carpark on a site previously occupied by nine apartments. Sensitivity to the urban environment meant that great care was taken to minimise loss of views from adjoining properties.
The apartments have been pitched at individual high-income earners and those who appreciate an excellent waterfront address and overall low property maintenance.
Apartments are spacious, enabling cross-ventilation, ample windows and several living rooms. The large rectangular space also includes operable walls, allowing closure of sections for added privacy or selective heating. The high standard of materials and overall finish is exemplified by the extensive stone flooring, which continues seamlessly from internal to external living areas.
The long axis faces north, optimising access to sunlight. The plans also set the building farther back from the shore, increasing the landscape area, communal access, and natural sense of transition from the bay. Shared facilities within the development include a boat shed and private jetty.
Colours are harmonious with the locality, and the roof mimics prevailing forms in the area.
