Delano apartments pay homage to their Crows Nest context
Drawing on the success of revered Sydney projects such as Advanx and Advanx Eastin, Rushcutters Bay, and Whitton Lane and Vue in Bondi Junction, Lindsay Bennelong Developments has brought together a team of award-winning leaders in their respective fields to collaboratively bring together their inspiring vision for their latest residential release.
Multi-award winning Australian architecture firm, Allen Jack+Cottier designed both the exterior and interior of Delano, which comprises three boutique low-rise buildings that gradually transition in scale and height from the nearby residential area, to the lively and energetic Crows Nest town centre.
Set amid private landscaped gardens, Delano offers a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, some with studies, along with seven townhomes fronting Hayberry Lane. The distinct curvature and detail of the façade, with its contrasting tones of steel and face brickwork, adds to the project's timeless design that ties in with the surrounding context, whilst still maintaining a contemporary feel.
The apartments and townhomes boast of Art Deco-inspired elements that are seamlessly woven into the design, with natural stone, metallic touches, and decorative flourishes to create a sense of harmony and refinement throughout the spaces.
The kitchens form the heart of each home, with top-quality Miele appliances, natural stone benchtops and splashbacks, balanced by cabinetry in complimenting tones. The living areas, with their generous free-flowing spaces and floor-to-ceiling glass, are oriented to capture sunlight, creating the perfect environment in which to entertain, while the bedrooms feature plush broadloom carpets, adding to the apartments' luxurious feel.
The bathrooms are characterised by clean lines, uncluttered spaces and considered finishes. High quality porcelain tiles run floor to ceiling, complemented by Studio Bagno vanity basins and Astrawalker brushed platinum tapware. Thoughtful details such as finger-tile mosaic feature walls, natural stone vanity tops, and tall cabinets featuring textured scalloped door panels add depth and contrast to the spaces.
The seven three-storey three-bedroom townhomes, set behind landscaped private front gardens, feature free-flowing living areas encompassed by marble island kitchens, while the upper level is devoted to a secluded master suite opening to a private balcony. The rear courtyards open to a communal garden, which provides ambient additional space for alfresco entertaining.
With teams across Australia, China and South East Asia, Place Design Group handled the landscape architecture across the project , which at the heart of Delano, provides a green backdrop to the residences, with manicured lawns, jacaranda trees, for which the area is renowned for, as well shady pergola seating areas and barbecue stations scattered around.
