The Park House on the banks of the iconic Yarra River is an effortless blend of luxurious serene riverfront

living and dynamic inner city residency.

Just moments from Richmond, Victoria Gardens, Kew parklands and the heart of Melbourne,

The Park House surpasses expectations, gifting residents with a prestigious address in inner-city

Melbourne that is exceptional by nature.

Victoria Street Frontage

Capturing the serpentine curves of the Yarra River below, The Park House’s avant-garde design includes

two apartment buildings that individually complement and integrate with the surrounding topography.

D E S I G N A N D A R C H I T E C T U R E

“The design team was determined to create buildings of dynamic and

identifiable character, while still responding positively to the special qualities

of this site located within a significant precinct along the Yarra River.”

“New public spaces are incorporated into the project with two ground

level plazas, providing visual connection and access to the Yarra River.

A series of landscaped terraces and pathways which cascade towards

the river bank will ensure activation of the public realm and unique

amenity for residents and visitors alike.”

SJB Architects’ intelligent timeless

design encapsulates the natural

harmony of this unique landscape

– a bold sensuous tribute to this

enviable location in a secluded

corner of Abbotsford.

Victoria Street Frontage

The building façade’s folded embracive

form is accented with shaped podiums

and sculptured balconies affording the

539 deluxe apartments maximum view

lines – calming earthy vistas of the

river and green surrounds.

Victoria Street View to the CBD

Banks of the Yarra River

The use of natural timbers combined

with the paired-back aesthetic of concrete

blend seamlessly with the landscape.

With the choice of one, two and three

bedroom apartments, purchasers seeking

a complete harmonious lifestyle offering

will be captivated and rewarded.

A strong focus on re-vegetation

and biodiversity has guided selection

of the native and indigenous trees and

plants that bleed from the public to

the private realm encouraging native

birdlife and wildlife to inhabit the area.

The landscaped pedestrian access linking Victoria Street and the Capital City Trail unites

the buildings, creating a seamless occupant journey from private to public space. A lush green

respite from the hustle and bustle of city life awaits the residents of The Park House. Both internally

and externally, a balance will be struck between community living and privacy, as well as bringing

a sense of pride around the natural landscape within the development itself.

Upon entering The Park House, one is captivated by the earthy transitional and communal spaces

that so beautifully connect with the riverfront setting. There is an immediate sense of home and

place as dark atmospheric zones transition into light-filled functional areas that capture and reflect

the surrounding landscape. Interior designers, Carr Design, have cleverly combined a range of

timbers, atypical metals and bespoke details such as polished plaster and granite.

The luxe feeling created throughout the entry and communal spaces of the

buildings continues up into each apartment and invites immediate living and relaxation.

Basking in abundant natural light, each home enjoys a fluid

streamlined form that mimics the subtle bends of the river below.

“Our intention was to create a space that had a true sense of home

but also a memorable atmosphere. We want the purchasers to feel

the connection with the landscape beyond with the building and

their apartment becoming a welcoming sanctuary for them

to take in all this development has to offer.”

Stepping into each apartment, purchasers are instantly welcomed by vistas out to the

river below as well as the abundant natural light streaming through the generous windows.

Designed to provide a balance between the open plan living area of the apartments and

the sanctuary of the bedrooms, each home has been appointed with impressive disguised

storage, clean white walls, a feature bookcase and island bench (where applicable),

allowing each purchaser to add a personal touch to their apartment.

Living & Kitchen – Light Scheme

Kitchen – Light Scheme

Kitchen – Dark Scheme

The Park House’s exceptional attention

to detail is showcased in the choice of

fixtures and finishes in the kitchen and

bathrooms of each apartment.

The deliberate juxtaposition of rich

ebonised routed veneer and inset feature

marble-look stone highlighted by metal

edging in the bench-tops is the ultimate

in contemporary styling.

Recessed finger pulls are also wrapped

in matching veneer to create a finely

detailed junction seen in the best

European kitchen design.

Exaggerated proportions in the kitchen

splashback, highlighted by the feature

marblelook stone, create a grand

sense of scale to the kitchen.

Tapware in graphite finish offers

a point of difference in its materiality

and colouring that integrates seamlessly

with the Gaggenau appliances included

in each apartment.

Referencing the earthy palette of the

river parkland, purchasers can select

from a choice of two colour schemes.

Rich, ebonised, routed veneer joinery

with graphite metal edging and aged

iron fixtures are key elements of the

Dark Scheme.

Large format feature marble-look

stone is inset into the kitchen bench

tops, splashback and shower wall in

the evocative rich colour palette.

The Light Scheme feature joinery

showcases light silvery-beige

quarter cut veneer.

Bedroom

The luxurious bathrooms of each apartment reveal additional elements of fine design details.

Feature floating vanities replicate the veneer and graphite metal combination of the kitchen area.

The soft grey porcelain tiles, marble-look stone and crisp white under-mount basins gently lit by

recessed LED lighting, create bathrooms of style and tranquillity. Clean lines are continued

with an integrated laundry discreetly located behind timber doors.Bathroom – Light Scheme

Unrivalled building amenity exclusive to each residence has been provided to ensure occupants

will be able to create a sense of lifestyle and community within The Park House.

A well thought-out journey through a series of public areas helps define

the living experience from the moment the resident enters the building,

before stepping into their own private apartment retreat.

Individual amenity spaces, unique in function, create a seamless

experience via the subtle repetition of form, materiality or texture.

A bold palette, timber panelling and recessed LEDs feature in the

sophisticated design of the mood-filled shared amenities that offer

unrivalled comfort and entertainment for occupants.

plants, such as ferns and natural

turf in the sunken courtyard.

Courtyard and Pool

Submerge yourself in a minimalist oasis of calm in one of the luxurious pools that occupy

each residence. Clean and simple in design, the ‘Splash’ swimming pool at Residence A

overlooks the courtyard, whilst Residence B is afforded views of the Yarra River below.

Timber walls and large format stone have been used throughout the space with

the added convenience of built-in timber storage, pigeonholes and seating.

by the luxury of plush velvets and wood

panelling in The Clubhouse Lounge in

created with stone flooring and timber,

polished plaster and bronze joinery.

Elements of colour and contrast are

then introduced through the soft

furnishings in the room, including burnt

orange, deep blues and vibrant greens.

A dark veneer formed bookcase wall

creates a spine to the lounge area,

sitting as not only a feature in the room

but also doubling as a library in which

to lose yourself on a quiet afternoon.

privately-owned companies, with

more than $4 billion worth of projects

completed or in active development.

Their brand story however, is a more

organic one: a focus on genuine

partnerships, craftsmanship and

for quality residential apartments,

bespoke commercial offices, and

collaborative ways to solve complex

industrial and intermodal problems.
