The completed and sold out Akora apartment development in Armadale was a collaboration between architecture studio Martino Leah Architects and landscaper Pollen Studios, who worked together to create 25 individually crafted apartments in a tranquil, nature-filled setting.

Completed in 2019, Akora is set on the prestige Kooyong Road, which runs from Armadale through to Toorak, two of Melbourne's most affluent suburbs.

Upon entering Akora, residents are welcomed by the inviting entrance lobby, bathed in natural sunlight through a fully glazed wall. The space reveals a palette of bluestone and timber, evoking a sense of warmth and richness.

The living areas are designed to maximise open space and enhance the flow of natural light. Seamless connections between the kitchen, living, and dining zones feature timber floors, with the kitchens incorporating an integrated fridge, a long, single pendant light and a large island bench made of reconstituted stone.&nbsp;

Collaborative design brings Armadale apartment development Akora to life

<a href="/new-townhouses/caulfield-north-vic-3161">Caulfield North</a> has recently welcomed a new architectural addition to its landscape with Olea, the new apartment development on Kambrook Road.

Designed by C&amp;K Architecture, <a href="/buildings/olea-44-54-kambrook-road-caulfield-north">Olea</a> was driven by the vision to seamlessly blend with the <a href="/new-townhouses/caulfield-north-vic-3161">existing neighbourhood character</a> while introducing a touch of luxury and individuality, with seven townhouses and 55 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments surrounding a central courtyard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8440 project_image_fid=199590]

At the heart of <a href="/buildings/olea-44-54-kambrook-road-caulfield-north">the development</a>, the central courtyard acts as a sanctuary, providing a green escape for the residents. Blessed with a northern aspect and considered landscape design, the courtyard creates a seamless indoor-outdoor transition for the apartments.

A key aspect of C&amp;K Architecture's approach is the careful zoning of the interfaces, ensuring minimal disruption to the <a href="/new-townhouses/caulfield-north-vic-3161">existing neighbourhood character</a>. The townhouses are thoughtfully positioned along the street interface, blending into the streetscape.

This decision not only preserves the village feel of the area but also gives each component its own street access and unique address, creating a sense of individuality within the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8440 project_image_fid=212297]

The laneway interface has been designed to enhance accessibility and foster interaction with neighbouring developments. By integrating with the already established laneway network, Olea becomes an organic extension of the surrounding environment, contributing positively to the overall urban fabric.

Two and three-bedroom apartments are still available in the <a href="/buildings/olea-44-54-kambrook-road-caulfield-north">newly completed Olea</a>, with prices starting from $779,500.&nbsp;
