When internationally renowned architects start designing projects for your neighbourhood, things are evolving. Vanguard, in Melbourne’s leafy Malvern, could just be a game changer.
This landmark building from developer Bensons Property Group has been created by architectural heavy-hitters Fender Katsalidis, whose work defines a new approach to luxurious residential design.
These one, two and three bedroom apartments are built around an array of flexible floor plans within the building’s lustrous glass facade and golden balcony balustrades.
What’s clear looking at Vanguard is that, with these homes, design is a way of life, not just an aesthetic or stylistic approach. Every aspect, every detail of these luxurious apartments has been carefully considered in relation to the living experience in its entirety.
Living areas have an undeniable quality that’s chic and timeless, brought about by the selection of sophisticated materials, tones and textures. Interior Designer, Adele Bates has maintained a constant level of elegance throughout. From the tranquil bathrooms to the retreat of the bedrooms, materials and colour schemes never veer from the high-end vision for design and craftsmanship. We particularly love the inclusion of premium stone and timber.
If you want your kitchen to be worthy of a globally renowned chef, there’s a simple solution — get a globally renowned chef to help design it. None other than Vue De Monde’s Shannon Bennett was brought on board to help with the kitchen layout, materials and appliances.
“We’ve made some really beautiful decisions on our finishes, along with a philosophy of ‘less is more’ in the design,” says Bennett. “The art of these kitchens is in the hidden detail. And that’s what really sets Vanguard apart.” The result is a kitchen of subtle materials, bold fixtures and built-in appliances from Miele.
The list of communal building amenities and services is an impressive one that we see in a handful of iconic residential projects. It includes a gym, executive business lounge, a media room for private movie nights, VIP dining room for larger dinner parties or functions and a wine cellar.
The list continues with a beautifully landscaped outdoor lounge atop the fourth-floor podium, complete with bbq and dining facilities ready for the weekend. And when all of that gets too much, relax in the spa and sauna before heading out to the sundeck to enjoy the views.
Top all of this off with your own building concierge and daily tasks and activities like ordering taxis, deliveries and dry cleaning suddenly don’t seem like chores any more.
At street level the creation of retail spaces is sure to invite cool cafes and boutique stores adding further amenity, lifestyle upgrades and a sense of genuine community to the building, further integrating it into the neighbourhood.
Surrounded by schools, parks and contemporary retail, Malvern itself is as popular as ever. But without buying an established home and renovating, getting into this desirable area is proving more and more difficult. Vanguard offers an alternative, with the incredible quality and attention to detail really delivering a substantial home in one of Melbourne’s top residential suburbs.
