Del Rey: The development bringing an art deco resurgence to Molonglo Valley

If there was ever a time for art deco-inspired architecture to see a resurgence, it’s now. Our sometimes subdued new homes could use an injection of interest by way of rich colour, glitz and glamour, decadent details and bold geometry. Interiors and exteriors that conure curiosity, ignite excitement and inspire those who reside within. 

One development looking to do is exactly that is POD Project Group’s newest build, Del-Rey in Coombs. Imagine sun-drenched California-inspired condominiums and lofts, paying homage to the art deco apartment buildings of yesteryear. 

Think inset balconies, rounded corners, an emphasis on horizontal glazing and building lines, and a design that will truly enliven you each time you arrive home. 

“The building has been designed with generous foyers and circulation areas in mind, rooftop terraces for resident gatherings and courtyard gardens,” says Marcus Allesch of POD Projects Group. 

“The 97 condominiums and lofts are designed to be light-filled, liveable, and enjoy views over parkland or out towards Holden’s Creek Pond. The building benefits from its spectacular location within the suburb of Coombs and as the last piece of the puzzle, completes its immediate context.”

“Del-Rey is what apartment living should be about – great amenity in a great location, in a great building,” he adds.

The homes feature all the necessities of modern living, including high ceilings and large windows framing the living areas, heightening the sense of space and light. Reverse-cycle heating and cooling mean year-round comfort, coupled with double-glazed windows for more tranquillity and lower energy bills.

Elegant kitchens and bathrooms beckon luxurious lifestyles with chic styling, oversized showers and sinks, soft close cabinetry and cleverly integrated generous storage options. 

A building as grand as Del-Rey calls for equally impressive outdoor living options and Del-Rey certainly delivers. 

“Most properties come with an oversized balcony or large courtyard so you can enjoy some private time outdoors. Depending on your budget and preference they range in size from eight square metres to a whopping 77 square metres, which is very rare in apartment developments,” says Allesch.

An internal atrium allows for cross-flow ventilation across the apartments, increasing natural light and decreasing energy costs. 

“The rooftop features a huge 350-square-metre al fresco barbecue and entertaining area set among lush gardens,” says Allesch. 

This is the perfect place to catch up with friends, mix with other residents, enjoy sundowners with the family or sit by yourself and read a book in the sunshine. 

Included for residents’ convenience are two barbecues, sink facilities, toilet, seating and tables. There is also a village green perfect for early morning yoga or for children to play.”

Completion is expected in late 2022.
