Exclusive New Address in Melbourne! Luxury Apartments by Luxcon & Woods Bagot. Display Suite Review

Hey guys, Lucy here from Hunting for George. I have a home tour with a difference for you today. I've been invited by Luxcon to experience their latest display suite, The Address, soon to become home to 23 new residences in one of the most coveted pockets of Melbourne. They overlook Fitzroy Gardens which I'm strolling through right now and I have been told they are as sophisticated as they are exclusive. Let's go take a look. Okay, so this is our living area which is centralized around this epic gas fireplace. Every home in Melbourne needs a good fireplace but I really like the way that it's been sort of surrounded by this dark, moody, natural stone. There's an awful lot of texture here. That's a beautiful textured grey wallpaper. I really like the interiors. The architecture actually and the interiors were done by Woods Bagot and they're quite known for their sophisticated colour palette. You know, it's quite neutral but in here especially there's a lot of grey tones and they've sort of just played with the textures and layering of that. Lovely pockets of shelving and the kitchen. So the living runs off the kitchen area and this is a fantastic island. I really like the fact that it's separate so you can actually access it from all four sides. This is actually super interesting. Integrated cooktop so it's seamless onto that stone bench top. I've actually never seen anything like that before. I like it. It's very modern. A couple of cookbooks. If you're lucky you might throw some of those in for free. So here that's your hidden integrated range hood and you've got spaces for your storage of your spices. This is lovely too. This beautiful double feature wall sconce. That's casting quite a lovely ambient light around that space. Plenty of storage. It's got this lovely texture to it. A very impressive fridge and freezer. Not just that though. You've got your wine storage as well. I like the way they've actually just thought about the way of bringing that in and integrating it into the kitchen. Sometimes they're always hidden away but to be honest your wine needs to be easy access. I saw a hidden light floating in here. So this is smart. I always love a good prep station. So this is a great pantry area. You've got your power so you can put your appliances here. Make a ton of mess so that your guests don't see it and then you can hide it away. So it becomes seamless. There is a ton of storage. That's a really good sized kitchen and you've got a lot of area for entertaining and we do have this dining space which runs off that kitchen area. Obviously this is a displacement. This is not a finished apartment. So this amazing window seat should have an incredible window overlooking that view over the historic gardens but instead we've got a representation. This would just be absolutely phenomenal having your guests around and looking out over that view. A very good sized table and I like the fact that you can mix it up with maybe a bench seat or you actually have those chairs as well. So this is actually a representation of the outdoor entertaining space. So I love the fact that you've essentially got two dining areas. One internal, one external. Phenomenal in summer again to be enjoying those views. How about we go check out the bedroom? There is a lot of storage in this bedroom. I really like the panel detailing all along this joinery. We've got his and hers. So dual robes either side. So no need for fighting. I love this. I love the feeling of this bedroom. You've got this wonderful kind of paneled bedhead detail which is the other side of that storage. Integrated bedside lighting. It's just very seamless. Beautiful feeling in here. But this is something else. Oh my goodness. I love this dressing nook. I can only imagine getting ready in the morning. Popping on your perfume. Oh and looking out onto that beautiful view of the city. That is very special. Not many people get to experience that. So the master bedroom is very generous. It also has its own master ensuite. And it would not be complete without a very generous bathtub. You know I love a good bathtub. And this is huge. Just insert epic view of the city behind me. There's a lot of that natural stone but in here there's a lot more light tones as well. There's actually quite a lot of contrast between the light and the dark. It works beautifully well. I like that push detail. You've got recessed storage in there with your jewel vanities. Lovely finishes. Everything just feels very luxe. That lighting detail. So that's a variation of what we saw in the kitchen. Beautiful smoky glass. And speaking of glass, I really love this frosted fluted glass detail. Wonderful in a bathroom. Here it reveals a very generous shower. This feels good. I really love these dark beautiful kind of bronze fixtures and fittings. Important for a little bit of privacy. I do like that. Okay I'm going to grab a drink and then let's take a closer look at how these new residences are going to come together. Okay so this is actually a project from Luxcon Group who are very well known in Sydney but this is actually their first foray into Melbourne. And look they've started on a high because this is a very exclusive address which is why it is called The Address. It sits on a prominent corner position overlooking Fitzroy Gardens and I've taken a look at the exterior facade of these residences and it really does embrace that connection to its greenery. The architecture and interior design for this project was by Woods Bagot and they have embraced its iconic location overlooking Fitzroy Gardens. There's such a wonderful connection to the greenery and they also have included that in the interiors as well with a wonderful warm natural color palette. Each residence in The Address gets to enjoy 270 degree views over the city and the gardens that will never be out built. There's a mixture of 23 oversized two and three bedroom apartments as well as two sub penthouses and two penthouses that have their very own infinity pools. Yes infinity pools! This is not your average apartment okay this is not just your standard entry-level pad, no this is a very premium offering. It is high quality finishes and it's a beautiful design and built in the heart of the city. The energy of its central location is going to be celebrated on the ground floor where it really will be a place to meet and wine and dine giving it that sense of arrival. The architecture drew inspiration from East Melbourne's rich architectural legacy and the landscaping runs up the entire building so that the park actually follows you up to your apartment. The interiors feature wall to ceiling windows and sophisticated features have been selected throughout. There's a wonderful natural color palette in here, it very much is sophisticated, it screams indulgence, there's beautiful hardware, it's very strong and it really does have a bold kind of dramatic energy to match that city location. The kitchen is great, I really love the scale of that kitchen especially that island bench and the fact that you can access it from all four sides. The cooktop that was completely integrated into that natural bench top, I thought that was really quite unique and those little differences for me in the kitchen, the lighting details, you know that strip lighting, the feature pendants, the integrated kit and range hood, even that kind of concealed pantry prep station, all those things go to making a phenomenal kitchen not to mention that very generous fridge, freezer and wine storage. The dining room runs off the kitchen and you do have the ability of bringing in either a window seat or you can have traditional seating. Again, it would just all be about that view to be honest, that would probably be one of my favorite spots to sit. Glass of wine, casually watching the sun go down, tick tick. These residences also celebrate two different areas to dine, you can be outside or in and I love that ability especially in those warmer months to be able to be outside eating your dinners and having the space in which to have guests around is always really important. The bedroom is special, oh my goodness, storage, very important, I loved it, his and hers robes, so much joinery and the joinery itself was beautiful, it was so detailed in its paneling and there was just again wonderful touches in there, the integrated lighting, I love that bedside detail, also that wonderful dressing look as well that will be so spectacular to be able to sit there getting ready in the morning and again just be able to have that changing landscape around you and seeing the world kind of move around you, I love that idea. The bathroom ticked a lot of boxes for me because it had a big bathtub with a view so that's a big tick, I also really liked those dual vanity areas as well and I just really love that frosted fluted glass, I just think that's beautiful and I love the separation of that toilet and shower area, I think it's incredibly important and I love a bit of Obviously, I'm just experiencing the display suite so this is just a small slice of what to expect from the address, there are 23 one-of-a-kind residences, they have different sizes and layouts, there's a lot on offer so if you are wanting more information, make sure you head to the website. As for me, I'm going to step outside and enjoy those gardens.
