Mansard is an exquisite residential development designed by Carr that offers a rare opportunity to live in Kooyong's historic and sophisticated neighbourhood. The building's façade is a visual delight, with its traditional house-like scale and prominent mansard roof, perfectly capturing the area's heritage character. The grey brick and glass materials palette blends well with the lush vegetation and mature trees, which envelop the façade, giving the building a natural and organic feel.

The interior of Mansard is just as impressive as the exterior, featuring a minimalist and refined aesthetic with subtle details. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a range of V-Zug appliances and a bespoke integrated bar. The island bench, crafted from travertine, is both durable and striking, and the ample cabinetry and storage space ensure a clutter-free workspace.

The living area is designed for ultimate relaxation, with an integrated fireplace nestled within solid travertine joinery, hardwood timber floors, and large floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding vistas. The spacious layout and thoughtful details of the living area invite both intimate gatherings and entertaining on a grand scale.

Mansard's bedrooms are equally impressive, featuring custom dressers, a walk-in robe, and an ensuite bathroom with an alcove shower and a freestanding bathtub. Residents can enjoy the outdoors from the expansive wrap-around terrace or cool off in the swimming pools located on the premises.

Why families are showing interest in Kooyong's rare new apartment development, Mansard

The recently launched Mansard apartments in Kooyong offer prospective buyers an opportunity to buy into one of Melbourne’s most affluent areas.

Developer BonYan RE has recently launched Mansard, a collection of just 16 apartments on Toorak Road.

Renowned architecture firm Carr Design was given free reign when designing the project, and Carr Managing Director Chris McCue has produced something unseen in Australia before.

The project's name Mansard comes from the Mansard roof, which originated in France. The earliest known example of a mansard roof is credited to Pierre Lescot on part of the Louvre built around 1550.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136666 project_image_fid=207867]

A Mansard roof is a four-sided gambrel-style hip roof characterised by two slopes on each of its sides, with the lower slope at a steeper angle than the upper.

Chris McCue said Kooyong is a really beautiful part of Melbourne.

"There's a lot of celebrated building works in the precinct from the 1930s, and that's what people love about Kooyong," McCue said.

"That's what we certainly love and that's what we wanted to respond to."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136666 project_image_fid=207864]

Head of Jellis Craig Projects Stephen Bowtell, who is marketing the project alongside Pontem's Fil Gacesa, said there’s nothing like Mansard on the local market.

"Kooyong had less than 1,000 people living in the suburb at the recent census," Bowtell says.

"Mansard really is such a rare opportunity to buy a brand new apartment. There's less than 500 houses and apartments in the whole suburb. These opportunities don't come around often."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136666 project_image_fid=207852]

Bowtell says the design by Carr makes the apartments more like homes.

"There are 16 apartments divided into 3 separate buildings, Carr's thoughtful design has provided a maximum of only four apartments on each level, further adding to the projects boutique nature”

Bowtell expects the project will resonate with downsizers already within the Kooyong, Toorak belt, or those who are wanting to enter one of Melbourne's most exclusive areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136666 project_image_fid=207856]

There are a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, starting from $1,495,000.

Each apartment features high-end V-Zug appliances and SubZero Fridges

Kooyong has a median house price of $3,585,000, only second to its neighbouring Toorak.

Mansard follows BonYan’s success in Glen Iris where they developed the luxury Oakden project. It set a suburb record in 2017 when an empty nester paid $3,617,000 to combine four two-bedroom apartments to create a 332 sqm unit on the ground floor.

The earliest known example of a mansard roof is credited to Pierre Lescot on part of the Louvre built around 1550.
