New boutique development of just 11 apartments in Griffith hits the market

An apartment of penthouse proportions in one of Canberra’s most sought-after locations – it’s no wonder this collection of homes has been aptly named LIFE; because that’s exactly what they’ve been created for, living.

On heritage-filled Leichardt Street in Griffith, there are just 11 three-bedroom, three-bathroom homes on offer. This alone warrants the expectation they won’t be on the market for long.

Designed for owner-occupiers who appreciate the finer things, LIFE is an opportunity to retreat from a busy life or reside and relax in later years.

“The brief from the outset was to integrate features of the suburban home into a horizontal format, to provide a level of quality, privacy and sense of community that can only be found in a boutique development,” says Kasunic Group director Tom Kasunic.

The distinctive exterior of the building takes on a contemporary industrial form with a monochromatic material palette.

“It’s textured and effortlessly sophisticated, combining nodular render much like that seen on heritage housing within the area, yet introducing modern features such as boxed-out louvred fenestrations and copper cladding in a vertical format,” he says.

The interiors take cues from the exterior of the building resulting in a modern, refined and industrial style with materials, texture and quality that heighten the live-in experience.

Given LIFE is a smaller development, Kasunic says they have been able to adopt a standard that exceeds other developments currently on the market.

“Floor plans have been intentionally considered to orient towards northern sunlight. Something that can only be achieved in a smaller footprint building and limited apartments per floor,” he says.

“The entire building is a high-end offering. All apartments are equipped with an additional study, Miele appliances, in-built gas fireplaces, walk-in glass wine cellars, copper bathtubs, full-height corner sliding doors and built-in joinery to auxiliary areas.”

The luxury extends well beyond the apartments themselves with the development also featuring a rooftop pool, barbecue kitchen and dining space.

“The ideological features of the development cater to both the entertainer and social butterfly,” says Kasunic.

“Whether it be opening up the frameless corner sliding doors to integrate the outdoor terraces with the internal dining, living and kitchen forming one larger entertaining space, perhaps even enjoying a barbecue dinner on the rooftop terrace while having drinks under the softening sunset, LIFE caters.

“But the location of the LIFE, the Inner South triangle, allows the occupants to be out and about with the local amenity of Manuka, Barton, Kingston and the Foreshore within walking distance.”

That means some of Canberra best eateries, pubs and bars are within walking distance, as are the Old Bus Depot Markets, the Fyshwick Fresh Food Markets, local tennis courts and recreational parks.

Expected completion is September 2022.
