  “a detrimental impact on the heritage significance of the site”.

It’s a result that protects the integrity of Ground’s vision, bank-vaulting this pitch perfect experiential design for future generations to come.

    What is it?
    Unit 17 is a super cosy one bedroom top floor that is  currently for lease.

    Why we like it.
    The top floor has a distinct "Art Deco cruise liner"  feel with it's slim steel common area support pillars and it's white wood-paneled roof.
    It's very cool.

    Oh and...
    It's also super quiet, with  two big windows opening over the central 'Moonbria' courtyard and the big elm tree. Boutique shops at both ends of the street means when you run out of "Madonna" cheese, and lactose free soy milk its an easy fix.
    Classic, simple, elegant  "Art Deco' living.
    What's not to love!

    What you should do.
    Make it home, quickly!
