Designed to blend harmoniously with its surroundings, the apartments feature simple, unadorned materials such as roughcast render and metal cladding, echoing the architectural vernacular of the area. Setbacks from the street allow for deep planting and greenery, creating a welcoming environment. Generous terraces and full-height glazed doors ensure ample natural light and ventilation, while communal gardens foster community engagement and social interaction.

Beyond architectural considerations, the project prioritizes environmental sustainability and social contribution. Oriented to maximize natural light and airflow, the building incorporates passive design strategies and amenities such as bike storage to promote alternative transportation options. Versatile interior spaces cater to evolving family needs, while single-level dwellings ensure accessibility for residents of all ages and mobility levels. With a focus on internal amenity, privacy, and equitable access to light and views, the development exemplifies high-quality design and thoughtful urban living, setting a standard for future residential developments in the area.

About the
Professional

A common response to our work is an appreciation of the light and space we create, but our designs are also conceived for a world where the sun shines, rains fall, winds blow, and temperatures vary – it’s this thinking that makes our buildings liveable, and lasting.

We are a Melbourne-based practice specialising in intelligent and sustainable design solutions. Our experienced team of architects and interior designers deliver individualised and often unique outcomes specific to each site and context.

Over the years we have developed an extensive portfolio of residential, multi-residential, commercial and interior projects, many of which have gained industry awards and recognition.

Centrally located in Cremorne in inner Melbourne, we deliver projects of varying scales and typologies, with a consistent focus on high-quality, design-focused outcomes that are bespoke and timeless by their nature.

The practice was founded in 2006 by Brett Nixon and George Fortey, who had previously learned their craft with some of Australia’s leading architectural firms, working on a wide range of residential, multi-residential, commercial and interior projects across the country.

We have now delivered well over $500 million worth of projects in many parts of Melbourne and throughout regional Victoria, including Boroondara, Stonnington, the City of Yarra, Bayside, Port Phillip, the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas, Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Alpine Shire.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
