Queens Domain development to bring 238 new apartments to Melbourne

A new apartment complex developed by Kangoala is set to be located opposite Albert Park Golf Course.

Queens Domain, designed by DKO architects, will have 238 one, two and three bedroom apartments set over 20 levels. The apartments include two penthouses which will be constructed to accommodate custom interiors.

The Queens Domain complex will include 252 car parks, and a variety of communal areas including a rooftop garden, a pool, gymnasium, lounge and dining room.

Set back from Queens Road, the development has something of a front yard, with its entrance, inspired by Copacabana beach, will also include outdoor seating.

The building's design was in part inspired by its neighbours – DKO Architects have taken their cue from the Frederick Romberg-designed modernist Stanhill and Newborn Flats, said principal Koos de Keijzer.

"The neighbouring Stanhill and Newborn Flats are traditional and functionalist buildings with sweeping open balconies and fine glass detailing," explained de Keijzer.

"Queens Domain takes up the next thread in this story reinterpreting existing elements, while showcasing the design and construction techniques of our time."

The curvaceous forthcoming building was designed with the intension of creating an impression of upward motion.

Interiors will be designed by Nexus, featuring Snaidero Kitchens and Pianca Wardrobes, with cut limestone flooring. One bedroom apartments begin at $389,000 and two bedroom apartments begin at $617,000.

The development is managed by PDA, who also delivered Prahran's Emporia Apartments.
