835 High Street, Armadale

As Hawthorn moves up the residential development ladder, newcomer 21 Riversdale Road makes a grand entrance to this leafy and luxurious suburb. Backed by developer Moda Corp and architect Ewert Leaf, this low-rise pays homage to local streetscapes whilst embracing contemporary design.

<h2>Impeccable craftsmanship inspired by striking concrete</h2>

Fusing bold materials with the subtlety of exquisite craftsmanship, 21 Riversdale Road houses 22 residences built across four floors. Dressed in an exquisite facade, the exterior appears as if it has been carved from a single concrete form. Lined with dark brickwork, the balconies reduce the structure&rsquo;s visual mass. Serving to soften the impact of bold materials, recycled timber soffits and vertical timber battens are installed in an organised fashion across the facade.

<h2>Every detail gleams extravagance</h2>

Bringing the neighbourhood into the design, landscape architect John Patrick delivers a locally-focused planting scheme which harmonises with the streetscape, whilst creating a peaceful touch to the exterior. You&rsquo;ll notice the designers&rsquo; focus on maximising natural light upon entering the residences, which are available in one, two, and three-bedroom configurations. A narrow floor-to-ceiling window begins at ground level and extends to the top of the facade, bathing the corridor in light.

<h2>Thoughtful design from balconies to bathrooms</h2>

Larger apartments feature generous terraces and balconies, as well as floor-to-ceiling sliding glass windows. From premium slimline finishes and Signorino marble benchtops to custom-designed wardrobe cabinetry, the attention to detail is sure to impress even the most discerning resident.

Residences offer ample storage and joinery that has been carefully crafted to withstand the test of time, fortified by robust smooth hinges and drawer sliders. The epitome of refinement, kitchens feature marble benchtops, oak timber floors, and minimalist linear pendants above the kitchen island bench.

Contrasting colour tones flow through to the bathrooms, which include large white ceramic tiles, charcoal metal detailing, and brushed steel hardware. Even the showers and baths have with their own shelving niches that mirror the design of exterior balconies and showcase the intelligence that has gone into design thinking.

Backed by Moda Corp developers and Ewert Leaf architects, Timeless is set to make its mark on the sophisticated suburb of Elsternwick. A testament to its name, the Timeless building skillfully walks the line between contemporary design and respect for the past.&nbsp;

With 13 residences across four levels, this low-rise hosts an exquisite facade inspired by the timeless architectural works of Frank Lloyd Wright. The building employs charcoal brick and local bricklaying methods, providing a nod to Art Deco and post-war brickwork, while reflecting the predominant character of Elsternwick. Integrating natural timbers with metal cladding, the exterior is a fusion of modern and time-honoured elements that delivers a thoughtful addition to the suburb&rsquo;s architectural heritage.

Sophisticated palettes flow throughout the whole design, with interiors that feature timber oak flooring paired with brushed chrome and antique motifs. You will revel in the kitchen&rsquo;s details, including timber cabinetry, natural stone, and marble slabs. Apartments are outfitted in furnishings that avoid modern trends, favouring timeless styles that are designed to last.

Bask in the natural light that filters through the floor-to-ceiling windows and fills all apartments. While there is a subtle emphasis on modern elements, such as recessed curtain pelmets in living areas and bedrooms, the brushed platinum and aged-brass tapware avoid the cliches and sparseness that you might find in other modern residences.

The penthouse at 835 High in Armadale has been sold for a record $15 million.

The six floor complex is under construction by Moda, the property development company headed by Ed Farquharson and Jordan Hooper.

The double-storey apartment will come with two pools, a children's play area and barbecue.

It is tipped as the priciest apartment sold in the suburb.

Moda secured a sellout of its 26 apartments.

The retail space has been taken by the organic grocer, The Leaf Store.

<figcaption>835 High Street infinity pool render</figcaption></figure>The project is being led by boutique developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/moda-corp">Moda</a>, who despite a fantastic track record of project sales, hadn’t anticipated the extent of 835 High Street’s financial success.

<blockquote>
“We sold enough in the first weekend to allow us to commence construction immediately, something we didn’t forecast to achieve for another few months.”

Ed Farquharson, Moda Managing Director

The Moda team has dedicated time and energy to researching the downsize market, in order to understand how they can deliver properties that meet buyer needs and compliment their lifestyles. This resulted in providing customisable spaces, interchangeable fixtures and fittings, and a range of upgrades – giving residents the opportunity to create their own bespoke, luxury residences. 

The research clearly paid off, with the majority of the 11 properties sales being made by downsizers. The highest demand was for two and three-bedroom properties between the price brackets of $2.5 - $3.5 million. Three of the 11 buyers also amalgamated floor-plans to create larger “sky homes”.

<figcaption>835 High Street outdoor living space render</figcaption></figure>Prospective buyers of 835 High Street were invited to tour the developer’s previous projects to see the quality of the delivered product in real life. Mr Farquharson noted that this helped enhance buyer confidence.

<blockquote>
“Buyers have a right to be well informed. They want to see proven delivery of premium developments, which is why we’ve taken prospective purchasers into our completed projects. In many cases they’ve met the owners. This has enhanced their confidence in our team, the process and the quality of our latest development.” 
</blockquote>

Ed Farquharson, Moda Managing Director

Leonard Teplin, Director of Marshall White Projects, who worked closely with Moda throughout the sales process, explained that buyers have been quick to secure high-end, luxury property as soon as it hits the market.

<blockquote>
“We are seeing outstanding results in the top-end apartment market this spring. The demand from downsizers is strong, but there is a limited supply of oversized, premium dwellings on offers, which is why pre-registration is increasingly popular. When quality homes become available, they’re secured fast because the buyer has already decided to proceed.”
