Due North

For the last few years, property trends have reflected the importance of resort-style amenities and private resident facilities for investors and owner-occupiers alike.

These mixed-use developments have become a new sector mainstay in Australia, according to Cromwell Property Group, with developers increasingly combining commercial, retail, leisure and residential.

Making use of rooftop space is a hallmark of this new resort-style renaissance, from barbeque space to podium gardens.

Urban takes a look at four luxury Melbourne developments that boast exclusive resident-only rooftop space.

1. Voyager, Docklands 
Developer: Mirvac

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=180330]

The ninth completed tower in Mirvac&rsquo;s Yarra&rsquo;s Edge masterplan, the Voyager tower is designed to include a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces.

These extend to the rooftop Skydeck and bar, which features a large rooftop terrace, barbeque area, firepit, yoga lawn, bar, dining room with chef&#39;s kitchen, theatre and karaoke room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=180333]

The $300 million, 315-apartment development on the Docklands waterfront rises 130 metres and is home to a sweeping range of facilities.

Its resident-only amenities and contemporary apartments designed by Mirvac&rsquo;s in-house design team have boosted investor interest in the development.

2. Due North, Preston 
Developer: Caydon Property

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155342]

Climbing 12 levels and comprising 107 apartments, Due North is a new apartment addition to Preston&#39;s High Street.

The rooftop is the focal point of the resident amenity, featuring space for a work-out, a dedicated yoga lawn and gym area with weights and aerobics equipment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155331]

The tiered rooftop also includes an infinity pool with views to Melbourne, built-in seating and barbecue areas for entertaining.

Designed by Caydon Architecture, Due North is situated just 20 minutes away from Melbourne&rsquo;s CBD and features a co-working area and three retail spaces.

3. Seafarers, Docklands 
Developer: Riverlee

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=173935]

Seafarers is transforming the city&rsquo;s last remaining Yarra River frontage into a new visionary waterfront precinct.

&ldquo;A focus on health and wellbeing was fundamental in the design process of the building&rdquo;, said Nicky Drobis, director at Fender Katsalidis.

Drobis and his design team have included numerous wellness spaces in addition to a selection of private amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=173914]

These include a library and lounge, dining rooms, spa and sauna spaces and a rooftop barbeque and garden overlooking the Yarra River.

Centred on an inspired reimagining of the heritage-protected Goods Shed 5, the Nonda Katsalidis-designed residence will feature Melbourne&rsquo;s first international hotel-branded residences &ndash; 1 Hotel &amp; Homes, above Australia&rsquo;s first 1 Hotel.

4. Samma Place, Ivanhoe

Four Melbourne apartment developments with luxury rooftop amenity

Due North is the latest development by the respected Melbourne developer Caydon Property, located in the hive of Melbourne&#39;s lively Preston precinct.

Inspired by the industrial past of Preston, the&nbsp;fa&ccedil;ade of the 12-level High Street building features raw brickwork, exposed concrete, custom metalwork and glass.

Caydon aren&#39;t like most developers, whose standard practice is to outsource the architecture and design to an independent firm.

Urban recently sat down with&nbsp;Giuditta De Santis, Caydon&#39;s&nbsp;director of architecture and design, to discuss the Melbourne development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155335]

MK: Due North was managed and delivered by Caydon&rsquo;s in-house team. Why do you think this adds value to the project?

GDS: Working in-house allows us to take full ownership of the project, and helps simplify decision making.

Our team is very experienced and resourceful, and working in-house helps us maintain control of the overall design and ensure material consistency.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155330]

MK: What was the design brief for the Architecture &amp; Design Team?

GDS: We wanted to ensure that the interiors reflected the modern yet eclectic vibe of the suburb.

So when looking at finishes and fixtures, we created a contemporary palette of stone, marble, timber flooring and a choice of grey or charcoal colour palettes.

MK: What spoke to you about Due North in particular?

GDS: Due North has a fantastic location, right in the hive of High St. Preston is a very vibrant suburb and has a great amount of local amenities.

We wanted the size of the project to reflect the area, so it&rsquo;s a more boutique-style development. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155332]

MK: Due North boasts a number of communal amenities. What are some of the amenities and benefits that residents can expect to enjoy?

GDS: Many of Due North&rsquo;s amenities are located on the rooftop, giving you stunning views of the city - which is quite unusual in this area. There&rsquo;s also a rooftop pool, yoga lawn, outdoor gym, and private entertaining booths with BBQs.

I think this space will be hugely popular with residents, as it allows them to form new connections in a safe and peaceful environment.

Shared spaces create a feeling of community in the building, especially in times where many of us value our immediate community, including our neighbours.

Working from home has also cemented itself in our 9-5 culture, so there are a variety of coworking spaces in the lobby. Each space is equipped with everything you&rsquo;d need to set up your laptop and work from home.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155331]

MK: What design features have you included that the average homebuyer may not notice straight away?

GDS: We really wanted Due North to reflect the current needs of our homebuyers, which is why we have focused on creating ample storage, working from home spaces, and pet-friendly living.

For example, we ensure that there are additional areas for storage when we design a floorplan - such as linen cupboards and fully fitted robes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155338]

In terms of working from home, many of our apartments have a flexi-space that you can turn into a home office, plus there&rsquo;s a coworking area downstairs that is available for all residents to use.

When choosing materials and finishes, we look at what is easiest to clean and can withstand playtime with our furry friends, such as engineered timber flooring and reconstituted stone benchtops.

Plus, all of our apartments have balconies and shared outdoor spaces that both you and your pets can also enjoy.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155337]

MK: Were there any challenges during the development or design process that you had to overcome?

GDS: Melbourne&rsquo;s lockdown would be the key challenge we have had to overcome. It&rsquo;s quite hard to collaborate with our suppliers online, plus sourcing materials and samples of finishes was very difficult during this time.

However, in the end, the team really pulled together, and we were able to overcome these issues.
