38 Albermarle St

For people and place, 38 Albermarle Street was designed to create connection – to the existing neighbourhood, to the city, and to each other. We kept the façade of the old building as a nod to the surrounding area. Shared spaces support neighbourly connections.

Each apartment has the things you’d expect: durability, functionality and longevity. Hard-wearing materials like Dekton in all the kitchens reduce wear and tear.

Open-air walkway supports the things we know make life healthier inside: like natural light and crossflow ventilation. Apartments are energy efficient too – double glazing and exposed concrete ceilings help regulate inside temperatures.

38 Albermarle Street has had many lives before we built here. First as a wool store, then a bakery, and more recently as a cassette tape manufacturer Dex Audio (who moved next door). We kept the façade as a nod to Kensington’s recent industrial past. After all it’s an original Harry A. Norris design – the local architect behind some well-known buildings across Melbourne, from Curtin House to the Nicholas Building.
