It was 2018 when boutique Perth developer Match completed M/25, their apartment development in the heart of Mount Lawley.

The 30-apartment project on Walcott Street was designed by Cameron Chisholm Nicol, who said the architectural approach takes advantage of the dual-frontage site, creating a strong corner presence which draws inspiration from the suburb’s Federation-style red brick and terracotta houses.

The façade uses contrasting shapes, materials and colours to link the lively urbanism of Walcott Street with the quieter, residential character of Burt Street. Glazed commercial tenancies, shaded by a generous awning, provide amenity and interest at street level. A significant public artwork serves to engage with the community and reinforce the building’s unique identity.

The apartments surround a landscaped, central courtyard which assists with natural ventilation, allowing light and breezes to penetrate the circulation zones. Inspired by an art gallery aesthetic, interior finishes feature crisp black and white surfaces which will allow the occupants’ possessions to feature.

M/25 sits in a prime location in Mount Lawley, with the Angove Street café strip just a turn to the left and Beaufort Street to the right, residents can indulge in an array of small bars and restaurants. The nearby parks offer a tranquil retreat for outdoor enthusiasts, with many also featuring barbecue and picnic facilities.
