The Life Outside Issue

Introducing the Life Outside issue of Habitus magazine. With life increasingly being absorbed into a digital space, there is never a more important moment to hold something tangible. In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

Orchard Piper secures a new Melbourne site

Australia

Architectural developer Orchard Piper has acquired its fourth site, in the Melbourne suburb of Toorak just 75m from the highly prized Hawksburn Village.


Orchard Piper has amalgamated two side-by-side blocks of land into one super site, totaling 1,500 sq m with a 30-meter north west frontage to Mathoura Road and incredible views to the Melbourne CBD.

For the site, Orchard Piper has designed a refined development of 12 residences over three levels, Mathoura Road will offer Orchard Piper’s signature Garden Residences, Terraces and Penthouses ranging from 140 sq m to in excess of 300 sq m.

Each home comes with a minimum of 2 car parks, access to a common wine cellar, at least 2 bathrooms and a powder-room, with penthouses also including an option for wood burning fire places – a rare offering in apartment living.

Designed with the intention of designing a modern classic, the Mathoura Road design references a range of iconic design flourishes with double level columns angled to open toward the city views in a contemporary manner.

“In Mathoura Road we have doubled the robe space of previous projects, increased the size of master suites and as our purchasers love to entertain, walk in sculleries and wine cellars are now part of our standard specification,” says Orchard Piper Director Luke McKie “Everything we do is meticulously considered and researched to provide the ultimate product for our customers.”

Jolson Architects have considered the living experience from the entry up a grand flight of steps into a dramatic double height void lobby encased in bronze faming. Individual penthouses have double oak doors with hand finished timber door handles, which swing open into the imminently livable residences.

Greeted by vaulting high ceilings and harmonious views, the homes are flooded with natural light and a rich, luxurious material tonality expressed in a selection of fine marble, timber, and bronze detailing.

With a tantalizing array of gourmet providores and delicatessens on its doorstep, Mathoura Road is also within walking distance of some Melbourne’s most respected schools and is well serviced by pubic transport, doctors, dentists and beautiful public gardens.
