Windsor to welcome rare new apartment development in 2024 as Windsor Park construction gathers pace
One of Melbourne's smallest suburbs, Windsor, is set to welcome a rare new development this year when developer Sinclair Brook completes its striking new project, Windsor Park.
Windsor Park, a joint venture between Sinclair Brook, reputable investment firm Wilbow Group and architecture firm Jackson Clements Burrows, comprises just 33 apartments and a vast 3,000 sqm site in an enviable pocket in Windsor. The project boasts an international walk score of 95.
Bordering the Chris Gahan Reserve, residents of the two and three-bedroom apartments are treated to verdant vistas and views of the city skyline from the comfort of their homes.
Windsor Park embodies a minimalist Japanese aesthetic with emphasis on timeless and environmentally harmonious design.
The architectural narrative unfolds as a series of interconnected buildings interspersed with lush greenery. Vertical breaks along the street facades create captivating shadow plays, imbuing the structure with a human-scale intimacy.
Complementing the architectural splendour are meticulously curated interiors by Hecker Guthrie and lush gardens by Eckersley Garden Architecture.
The exterior’s chosen palette of concrete, warm metals, and neutral brick extends into the interiors, where earth tones, concrete, and soft timber create an atmosphere of warm contemporary.
Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows flood the homes with natural light, while private terraces and balconies provide idyllic retreats within the home.
The living spaces are designed with open plans and generous layouts adaptable to every resident's needs.
Perfect for hosting gatherings, the spacious kitchens are equipped with top-notch fittings and appliances.
A striking solid stone bench top with chamfered stone edging sits atop the central island, creating a visual contrast with the sleek timber veneer cabinetry.
Every kitchen comes complete with a full set of premium Swiss appliances by V-ZUG, adding to the overall minimalist design.
Homeowners can choose between two distinct colour schemes: Classic or Windsor to personalise their homes.
Windsor Park is also committed to sustainability and energy efficiency. Utilising readily available technologies, the development aims to achieve a 7-star average NatHERS Energy Rating.
Increased insulation, high-performance double glazing, passive design for natural daylight and ventilation, water-efficient fixtures, and a rainwater harvesting system are all the initiatives employed in Windsor Park to contribute to a lower environmental impact.
Additionally, in embracing the future, Windsor Park will incorporate features for electric vehicle charging, basement ventilation improvements, and a solar PV system on the rooftop.
These initiatives not only reduce energy costs but also promote a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle for its residents.
Sinclair Brook is offering an extended building warranty at Windsor Park, past the standard warranty that all off the plan developers need to offer.
Construction by builder Ironside Construction has commenced on Windsor Park, with completion slated in mid-2024.
