Designed and built by locals Noel Robinson Architects and Charlie Woodward, Highline will feature a modulated facade, with recessed concrete screens balancing light and shade, whilst accentuating the building’s floor-to-ceiling windows and generous-yet-secluded balconies. Positioned on Bank Street in West End, the development will include a total of 142 units, with 43 one-bedroom, 97 two-bedroom and two three-bedroom apartments. Each will come with a minimum of one car space, and the building will accommodate 36 visitor car parks. Highline will also include a breathtaking rooftop pool and lounge with barbecue area, looking out over the surrounding city skyline.

Highline’s sleek interiors have been designed by renowned Melbourne interior-design studio Hecker Guthrie, complementing the strong architectural geometry of the exterior with freestanding angled insertions that provide a sense of space and flow within each apartment. A sophisticated palette of white on white contrasts with elements of warmth and the natural sunlight that spills in through the wide windows. Fine matte-black detailing is sprinkled throughout, including kitchen and bathroom tapware and door handles.

Registrations of interest are now open, with the project official launching with a street party on February 21. Construction for Highline will commence mid year, with completion due for late 2016.
