Melbourne is known worldwide as a vibrant melting pot of culture, entertainment, arts, food and sporting events. Year-round, the city is home to captivating performances, delectable restaurants and exciting events - with Conservatory right at the heart of it all. With prices starting at $499,000, the development begs the question, why rent when you can own an apartment directly across from the beautiful Carlton Gardens, overlooking everything the vibrant city has to offer?

Having entered the market as off-the-plan apartments in 2016, Conservatory sold an incredible number of apartments before commencing construction. Now fully completed, the exclusive range of developers’ release apartments are entering the market and is expected to reflect the project’s initial success.

In addition to the incredible city location and architectural design, purchasers are also finding the current financial incentives irresistible. The development team comments “Conservatory is one of only few brand new builds in the City of Melbourne where purchasers will pay $0 stamp duty offering premium living in a boutique development.”

A sculptural facade near the city centre

Architecturally inspired by old Victorian greenhouses, Conservatory’s facade presents itself as an elegant glasshouse building. Soaring 42 storeys, Cox Architecture has ensured that all apartments are backdropped by either the dynamic city views or the pristine Carlton Gardens.

“[Conservatory is] a landmark tower that builds on art nouveau concept - a controlled and tempered habitat propagating the new environment for living within a graceful, sculptural facade that captures views, controls light and allows fresh air.”

Professor Philip Cox, Cox Architecture

Conservatory is split into several collections, each with a distinct flair and welcoming atmosphere. The ground-floor lobby carries an air of grandeur similar to a luxury hotel for an exquisite arrival experience. The outside is invited in with a sculptural tree anchoring the adjacent lounge space. Surrounded by double-height glazing, the lobby offers a glimpse into the rest of the development as one that integrates greenery into the built spaces.

Levels one to 37 house the Victorian and Royal Collection of apartments with The Carlton Collection located between levels 38 to 41. Throughout the vertical community are a series of premium residents' amenities that offer rejuvenation, entertainment and meditation for personal wellbeing; these include The Royal Banquet on level eight and The Carlton Skydeck on level 42.

Elegance inside and vibrancy outside

Inside, renowned Hecker Guthrie has created serene, light-filled homes that present themselves as gardens in the sky. The thoughtful layout and expert craftsmanship of the build is complemented with beautiful joinery, a respect for natural elements and a careful blend of contemporary and vintage elements. Where possible, double-glazed sliding panels replace solid doors and walls to maximise the views and sense of spaciousness.

Outside, residents will find everything that defines Melbourne as one of the world’s most liveable cities. Nearby is the Royal Exhibition Building, Museum of Victoria and IMAX cinema. The expansive Carlton Gardens will serve as an extension to the Conservatory homes thanks to its proximity. Here, residents can take a stroll through the ancient gum trees and towering Moreton Bay Fig trees every day and truly reconnect with nature.

Conservatory residents will also discover a world of flavour and entertainment at their doorstep. From pan-Asian to European, authentic Italian to fusion, there is a seemingly endless range of delectable delights only a short stroll from the development.
