Lumeah - 4-10 Lumeah Street, Narrabundah

Canberra's inner city suburb of Deakin is set for one of its most luxury apartment developments to date.

Plans have been filed for a mixed-use development including 53 apartments, a day spa, a club lounge, and a public art gallery at 38 Grey Street, Deakin, next to Canberra Girls Grammar School.

The site had previously been occupied by the Margaret Dimoff Art Gallery, and had been subject to a development application for a 102-bed aged care development in 2017.

The new plans, linked to an unknown developer with a registered address in Melbourne, align more closely with the site's proximity to Parliament.

The development has been called Embassy Residences in the application and will span six levels.

&nbsp;

The apartment sizes are generous, starting from 160 sqm and ranging up to 600 sqm. There will be two, three and four-bedroom apartments on offer.

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/hugh-gordon-architects">Hugh Gordon Architects</a>, the building's orientation, form, and scale have been planned to enhance residential amenity while complementing the area's emerging built form.

Embassy Residences' design incorporates features such as physical stepping, architectural elements, balconies, and shading structures to create visual interest and differentiation from neighbouring properties and maintain privacy.

The building's façade will utilise a mix of face bricks, matt monument black, off-white render arches, and brushed brass balustrades, chosen for both aesthetic appeal and ease of maintenance.
