Inside the luxury downsizer Kew apartments, The Studley
Making an architectural statement on the leafy streets of Kew, The Studley embodies a sophisticated and contemporary design that seamlessly fits into the highly sought after neighbourhood.
Designed over three levels, The Studley is home to just eight residences, ranging up to 500 sqm, each with an expansive floor plan, allowing for generously sized bedrooms and living spaces, which integrate into the outdoor spaces.
David Watson Architect is the boutique practice behind the Kew creation, working in collaboration with John Patrick Landscape Architecture and McKimm to deliver the project.
Established in 2001, the scale of the deliberately small design-driven architecture practice ensures the active involvement of owner, David Watson across all projects, with The Studley being no different.
The Studley’s exterior combines travertine, render and zinc to create a modern built form that remains sympathetic to the leafy streetscape.
The single-floor residences range from two to three-bedrooms, each with two bathrooms and a powder room, appealing to buyers seeking to downsize without compromising on luxury appointments and outdoor space.
Wide oak timber floorboards create a sense of warmth inside the homes, complemented by natural stone benchtops and a neutral colour palette throughout.
Additional luxurious modern features within the residences include freestanding baths and walk-in robes, bespoke joinery, an in-built gas fireplace, and the ultimate chef’s kitchen, complete with Miele appliances, Grand Cru wine fridge and butler’s pantry.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls optimise light and views in each of the apartments, while the lines between indoors and outdoors have been cleverly blurred through the use of expansive stacking sliding doors.
The main living spaces open to generous gardens and outdoor terraces, enjoying sweeping views across Kew’s leafy canopy.
In keeping with the air of exclusivity, entry to The Studley is via a secure central lobby with a lift service.
The basement also has secure parking for up to three cars, as well as additional storage for each residence.
Two and three-bedroom apartments can still be snapped up in the Kew project, with prices starting from $2,450,000.
