Set in the heart of the City of Monash, located within the Monash Technology Precinct, Notting Hill Apartments is your opportunity to invest in an area renowned for its worldclass educational facilities and thriving business community.
658-660 Blackburn Road, Notting Hill is a fourstorey apartment building with two levels of basement car parking designed around a central landscaped courtyard space. The courtyard is accessed via a central circulation spine containing the main public stairs and lifts. Glazed links that allow access between the buildings are also expressed within the circulation spine.
Other stairs within each building are articulated as glazed slots to identify vertical circulation routes. The circulation spine extends through the entire depth of the site to break the building into two discrete volumes when viewed from Blackburn Road. A substantial zone of vegetation and raised garden beds is also provided as a visual buffer from Blackburn Road.
The common courtyard is the central retreat space for the residential community to actively and passively utilise. The space will remain relatively open with fixed seating and raised planters. The key feature element is a timber deck which appears to fold throughout the space as the timber alignment changes orientation. Timber benches will rise from the deck in the form of boxed seating. Raised planters will frame and conceal entries to private residential courtyards. Small to medium sized trees will be selected to provide adequate summer shade and access to light in winter.
Other facilities include secure basement car parking and visitor parking, (visitor parking is also provided off the Blackburn Road service lane). Bicycle parking within the central courtyard, roof top tennis court and gym, and future caf/retail space.
