The multi-award-winning developer HELM has unveiled an eye-catching apartment project which seems certain to set new design and quality standards for Neutral Bay.

MUSE, in Rangers Road, follows on from ESQUE in Glover Street, Mosman which was judged the best medium-density housing development in Australia. HELM is also nearing completion of a similarly outstanding apartment project called LAURIER in Parraween Street, Cremorne.

The architect for all three projects is the internationally-acclaimed Peter Conley, whose modern day masterpieces flow from function and sensual form. 

Liquid curves, ethereal shapes and recessed elements are the visual hallmarks of MUSE. But at this boutique-sized development beauty is more than skin deep, with the stunning exterior balanced perfectly by the premium nature of life within. 

MUSE is one of those rare buildings which provides calming interiors within an energising urban neighbourhood. Like Yin and Yang, there are two harmonious elements to living here.

From an entry foyer that opens into a soaring atrium containing 15-metre-high walls of living greenery, MUSE reinterprets the notion of public and private spaces. This lush communal focal point brings nature inside and encourages residents to gather, relax and get to know one another.

It’s a peaceful retreat with an important purpose, acting as the ‘lungs’ of the building by providing natural ventilation, sunshine and light – a welcome change from the usual air-conditioned and artificially-lit lobbies.

HELM is one of the few developers who place emphasis on large apartments in cosmopolitan locations, primarily to temp ‘empty nesters’ and ‘baby boomers’ from their suburban homes. Neutral Bay meets this criteria perfectly, being one of Sydney’s liveliest and most convenient suburbs. 

MUSE is ideally located on the corner of Rangers Road and Yeo Street, within 50 metres of the suburb’s major artery, Military Road. By bus the CBD is within 12 minutes; by ferry the journey to the city is more about enjoyment than speed. 

“We ensure the transition from a family home is as easy as possible,” said Mark Monk, General Manager of HELM. 

Though layouts differ, each apartment at MUSE is designed for owner-occupiers, offering generous space, inventive storage solutions and surprising tranquillity.

“Our interiors are timeless, with elegant forms and the finest appliances,” said Mr Monk. “The aesthetic edge is achieved by a richness of materials and a suite of luxury features unmatched by most apartment developments.”

Double-glazed, full-height windows and doors expand lifestyle options. Closed they turn the apartments into cosy retreats; opened they flow organically onto practical terraces, where residents can soak up the sun in privacy, enjoy an alfresco meal or entertain in style. 

Each apartment at MUSE has wheelchair access and the ability to become a fully disabled apartment, if ever required.

Because MUSE enjoys the bonus of being on a corner site with three street frontages, all apartments have dual aspects that maximise views and take advantage of cooling breezes. Wide sliding glass doors provide a seamless transition from the living areas onto private balconies with commanding vistas of Sydney Harbour and the CBD in one direction, and over the emerald green suburbs of Cremorne and Middle Harbour in the other.
