Designed with substance: Inside the Park House apartments at Highett Common
The 9.34-hectare masterplanned precinct Highett Common, in the heart of Highett, is set to be home to over 1,000 residences upon completion, with a conservation reserve alongside a public park with a state-of-the-art playground, a new public library and a community centre.
The first residential release in the development settles among the curated pockets of space, with the surrounding landscape inspiring the internal design.
Developer Sunkin Property Group tasked the architects at ClarkeHopkinsClarke to design Park House, which they say reintroduces nature to modern life.
The interiors of Park House strike a balance between design and liveability. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glazing and seamless glass doors connect the living spaces to generous balconies that provide the perfect space to take in the surrounding park views.

The one, two, and three-bedroom residences are versatile and enduring, designed for all seasons and any occasion. The living zones are spacious and graceful, using a thoughtful composition of aesthetics and function. The interiors feature a texturally rich palette of materials highlighted by clean, flowing lines, and sun-drenched luxury.
From the matt finish timber floorboards to the recessed ceiling track for the curtains, a sublime and minimalist approach is evident at every turn. The slender white battens add an elegant profile to a feature wall, giving the lounge subtle tactility and character.
The kitchen, designed to balance daily cooking and entertaining with ease, is both organic and elegant. The full-height panels of timber laminate or satin white joinery conceal a myriad of storage and functional elements.
The timber-inspired finishes and marbled or stone surfaces of the benchtop and splashbacks ground the design with a warm and earthy presence. The suite of premium appliances is completely integrated within the design, including a flush, undermount double sink and sleek gooseneck tapware.
Park House will also offer a level of customisation with residents given a choice of a warm material scheme in classic timber tones or a contemporary palette light material scheme.
Sunkin is now selling the remaining apartments at Park House, and the first townhouses in Highett Common.
