The family-ran developer View Bank Homes, who specialise in Melbourne's Northside, have recently completed another project in <a href="/developments/heidelberg-west-vic-3081">Heidelberg West</a>, on the fringe of <a href="/developments/preston-vic-3072">Preston</a>.&nbsp;

The Bardia Street development comprises just eight oversized one and two-bedroom apartments,&nbsp;designed to seamlessly blend in with the existing character of the street and neighbouring parklands.

One of the key objectives behind Liberty's design was to create a strong sense of address, where the building becomes an integral part of the surrounding environment. Achieving this required a refined palette of materials, carefully chosen to mirror the colours found in nature.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140801 project_image_fid=215335]

To ensure a visually appealing structure, Liberty is defined by a linear rhythm and strong articulation. The monochromatic palette of blockwork, charcoal render, and timber cladding adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the building, while the use of night-sky nail strip cladding adds an industrial aesthetic, striking a balance between contemporary and classic materials.

Greenery has been incorporated to surround the building, softening the facade while paying homage to the nearby parklands and further enhancing the building's connection to nature.&nbsp;

Stepping inside Liberty, residents are greeted with a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor areas. The living areas open up to outdoor entertainment spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140801 project_image_fid=215349]

The custom-built kitchens in Liberty have been designed to maximise storage and functionality. Deep soft-close drawers and cupboards offer ample space, while the inclusion of a floor-to-ceiling pantry adds an additional touch of practicality. The centrepiece of each kitchen is the splashback, carefully selected to create an expansive feel throughout the space.&nbsp;

Not stopping at the kitchens, Liberty's attention to detail extends to the custom-built cabinetry in the bedroom robes. Designed to optimise functionality, residents will find shelves, hanging space, and drawers thoughtfully incorporated, eliminating the need for additional cabinetry once they've moved in.

The one-bedders begin at an affordable price point in the completed development, priced from $430,000, while the two-bedders are priced from $499,000.

Prominent Bayside developer Lowe Living expanded their predominantly Bayside footprint when they started developing Larnook <a href="/developments/armadale-vic-3143">Armadale</a>, bringing their expertise of developing large apartments to owner-occupiers a little <a href="/developments/melbourne-vic">closer to the city</a>.

Collaborating with renowned architectural firm Warren and Mahoney, Larnook presents an exclusive collection of just 11 two and three-bedroom residences, including one grand penthouse, with the homes surrounded by verdant greenery by landscape architects Eckersley Garden Architecture.&nbsp;

The <a href="/developments/armadale-vic-3143">history of the area</a>, with its subdivided Victorian mansions and meticulously planned streets, serves as a catalyst for reimagining traditional aesthetics in a modern framework.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106276 project_image_fid=169739]

Situated on the corner of Larnook Street and Orrong Road, Larnook <a href="/developments/armadale-vic-3143">Armadale</a> draws inspiration from the <a href="/developments/armadale-vic-3143">area's rich heritage</a>, paying homage to the grandeur and botanical beauty established by the historic Larnook Mansion in the 1800s.

The design philosophy of the building focuses on openness while maintaining privacy and filtering natural light into every apartment.&nbsp;With passive ventilation, a thoughtful material palette, and ample natural light, each residence becomes an anchor within the streetscape. The generous wrap-around balconies and terraces establish a physical connection between the apartments and the serene tree-lined neighbourhood.

Through a combination of materials, screening elements, planters, and well-established street trees, Larnook Armadale achieves a harmonious balance between transparency and seclusion.

Eckersley Garden Architecture has worked its magic by incorporating verdant planters and gardens that seamlessly blend with the existing tree canopies, creating a captivating interplay of light and shade, while floor-to-ceiling windows and doors dissolve the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106276 project_image_fid=169742]

The kitchens feature a suite of integrated Gaggenau and Liebherr appliances, natural stone benchtops, brushed nickel tapware, and stone-clad sculptural island benches, while the bathrooms boast floating marble-topped vanities, complemented by porcelain tiling surrounds and floors.

The feature tiling in the bathrooms reflects the allure of handmade effect tiles, while brushed nickel cylindrical tapware and fixtures add a final touch of refinement to the spaces. Select residences even include a feature bath, as well as heated towel rails in the master ensuites.

Remaining apartments start from 143 sqm of internal space and range in size up to the 436 sqm penthouse.&nbsp;
