23.01.2022 Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Either way it’s a design that lives long in the memory. Orbis Apartments, just south of the Melbourne CBD, by @armarchitecture. #orbisapartments #apartments #apartmentliving #design #architecture #armarchitecture #melbourne #melbournelife #melbourneliving #theurbanlife
21.01.2022 Did anyone else catch the final episode of ABC TV’s Streets of Your Town, featuring @modernister, earlier this week? How fitting that a show celebrating the impact of mid-twentieth century modernism on Australian residential architecture should come to a conclusion with a feature on Brisbane’s iconic Torbreck apartments. A great apartment block closing out a great show! #apartments #apartmentliving #architecture #torbreckapartments #brisbane #architecture #modern #design #theurbanlife
19.01.2022 Christmas is just around the corner so I’ll be putting up some gift ideas over the next days and weeks. First off, this beautiful flat-pack bed (the Klaffer) for your best buddy by Nils Holger Moormann @nilsholgermoormann. Too damn cute!! #furniture #dogbed #klaffer #lifestyle #nilsholgermoormann #theurbanlife
17.01.2022 If you want to support Australian design and manufacture this Christmas, you could do much, much worse than Object Utility @objectutility. Based in Victoria, its collection is sleek, minimal and good-looking. #objectutility #design #furniture #homewares #theurbanlife
17.01.2022 The Gantry complex is a mix of apartments and terraces set on the former site of a pottery warehouse in the inner-Sydney suburb of Camperdown. Understated and modern, the complex integrates the site’s industrial heritage seamlessly. Architecture by @batessmart and landscape design by @aspect_studios. #apartments #apartmentliving #architecture #design #gantry #camperdown #batessmart #aspectstudios #sydney #sydneylife
15.01.2022 So construction has now commenced on Melbourne’s ‘future international icon’ (as described in a public petition). The mixed-use commercial, retail, hotel and apartment tower is designed by Woods Bagot and SHoP Architects. Surely Melbourne can do better than this? It just looks like a pastiche of Beijing’s CCTV Tower and Suzhou’s Gate of the Orient (aka ‘The Trousers)and not in a good way. #architecture #collinsarch #melbourne #woodsbagot #shoparchitects #theurbanlife
14.01.2022 Altair, an award-winning apartment building designed by Ian Moore Architects @ianmoorearchitects, situated in Darlinghurst, Sydney. #altair #apartments #apartmentliving #darlinghurst #sydney #architecture #modern #ianmoorearchitects #theurbanlife
13.01.2022 Like some intergalactic spaceship landing on Earth, the sleek, sinuous lines of Luminary, a 22 residence development, will be descending on Hawthorn, inner-city Melbourne, sometime in the next couple of years. Architect: Plus Architecture @plusarchitecture #apartments #apartmentliving #luminary #hawthorn #victoria #design #architecture #lifestyle #theurbanlife
12.01.2022 Fancy living on the former site of a prison (Pentridge to be exact)? If so, developer Future Estate and architects @rothelowman have the place for you - One Coburg Quarter - in Melbourne’s northern suburb ofyou guessed itCoburg. #apartments #apartmentliving #onecoburgquarter #rothelowman #architecture #design #coburg #melbourne #melbourneliving #theurbanlife
06.01.2022 Dight Street Apartments, a planned development in Collingwood, Melbourne by architect @fieldwork_architects. Simple, understated and classy design inspired by Japan’s residential architecture. More please. #apartments #apartmentliving #collingwood #melbourne #architecture #design #fieldworkarchitects #theurbanlife
06.01.2022 Heirloom, Western Australia’s largest residential heritage restoration, is now complete. The magnificent sawtooth-roofed Dalgety wool stores in Fremantle, are now home to 183 apartments. Cameron Chisholm Nicol @cameronchisholmnicol were the architects on this project. #apartments #warehouse #architecture #design #apartmentliving #restoration #heirloom #fremantle #perth westernaustralia #theurbanlife
05.01.2022 Showcasing the work of @junglefyourcities, who collaborated with Frenchman Patrick Blanc to create One Central Park’s signature vertical gardens. More than any other, this landmark apartment development in Chippendale, inner Sydney, opened the minds of Sydneysiders to the possibilities of how a large scale apartment development could rejuvenate and improve the amenity of an area. #apartments #apartmentliving #junglefy #verticalgardens #onecentralpark #chippendale #sydney #architecture #design #theurbanlife
04.01.2022 We love a vertical garden. This is Illura Apartments, in west Melbourne. Architecture by @elenberg_fraser, vertical garden by @fytogreen_australia. #apartments #apartmentliving #illuraapartments #westmelbourne #architecture #design #elenbergfraser #fytogreen #verticalgarden #gardenwall #theurbanlife
04.01.2022 The penthouse apartment of the forthcoming Opera Residences just became Australia’s most expensive apartment, going for $26 million. Nice if you’ve got the cash to splash. But still some way from world-beating - word has it that the 5-level penthouse at Monaco’s Odeon Tower is on the market for US$335 million. WTF ??!!! #apartments #sydney #operaresidences #australia #apartmentliving #lifestyle #theurbanlife
03.01.2022 The beautiful cuboid form of @fjmtstudio designed apartments in Rose Bay, Sydney. #apartments #apartmentliving #architecture #design #fjmtstudio #rosebay #sydney #theurbanlife
03.01.2022 Detail of the north facade of Exordium in the inner Sydney suburb of Zetland. Exordium is an affordable housing complex by developer City West Housing and comprises 104 apartments whose rent is capped at no more than 30 percent of the wages of key workers such as nurses, teachers, cleaners and police officers. With Sydney’s housing affordability as bad as it’s ever been, more affordable housing developments should be encouraged, particularly in the city’s inner suburbs. And... not just more developments, but well-designed and well-built ones. Kann Finch were the architects on this development, with @sturt_noble providing the landscaping services. #exordium #zetland #sydney #apartments #apartmentliving #sydneylife #sydneyliving #architecture #kannfinch #design #citywesthousing #affordablehousing
02.01.2022 The 10-storey Melbourne apartment tower called Forte may not look particularly remarkable, but when it was completed in 2013, it was the world’s tallest timber apartment tower at the time. Boasting excellent energy saving and sustainability credentials, it is constructed from flat-pack cross-laminated timber (CLT). Very cool (probably literally). #apartments #apartmentliving #forte #melbourne #melbournelife #lendlease #architecture #design #sustainability #theurbanlife
02.01.2022 An edgy, perforated metal facade crowns this boutique development at 1 Waterloo St, Carlton, an inner-city suburb of Melbourne. Another great piece by @dko_architecture. #apartments #architecture #design #apartmentliving #dkoarchitecture #carlton #melbourne #theurbanlife
02.01.2022 ‘Two Little Chestnuts’ by Nixon Tulloch Fortey Architecture @nixontullochfortey are two beautiful townhouses in the Melbourne suburb of Cremorne. Be gone, the ugly, dingy townhouses of decades past! #townhouse #twolittlechestnuts #cremorne #melbourne #architecture #design #theurbanlife
02.01.2022 Christmas is just around the corner so why not treat someone special to a great piece of Australian design? DesignByThem @designbythem is a Sydney-based business providing an outlet for great Australian design. #design #lifestyle #theurbanlife #homewares #furniture
