Rare Kooyong site set for eight exclusive apartments

Melbourne’s exclusive suburb of Kooyong is set to welcome eight luxurious apartments, developed by Above Zero in collaboration with Home Identity. This $32M project will feature 4 levels, with every residence perfectly positioned to direct north facing aspects. 

Kooyong Gardens is exquisitely designed, by acclaimed architecture firm, Cera Stribley, the development has been thoughtfully crafted to maximise space, natural light, and privacy, offering an unparalleled living experience tailored to the sophisticated lifestyles of its future residents.

Architecturally striking, Kooyong Gardens is crowned by a distinctive bronze metal-detailed mansard roof,  a sculptural design statement and an ode to the historic Kooyong Stadium, echoing its iconic profile with a contemporary edge. 

Below, a timeless brick façade grounds the building in its leafy surrounds, offering warmth, texture, and enduring character. This is complemented by a refined marble shroud that frames expansive windows, fostering a seamless visual connection between the residences and the adjoining parklands. 

Lauren Tarrant has for a second time partnered with Above Zero to shape the interior direction of  the project, bringing her signature style known for refined elegance and an intuitive sense of  spatial harmony. 

“What drew us to this site was its extraordinary rarity — we worked tirelessly with agents to  amalgamate four separate units to create the only development site in Stonnington where we could deliver a high-end apartment project with true park frontage and uninterrupted northern  views,” said Above Zero founder and managing director AJ Batra.

Kooyong itself is synonymous with prestige, renowned for its historic Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club and its lush green spaces, including Kooyong Park and the Kooyong Conservation Reserve. 

The suburb is home to a blend of grand heritage-listed mansions and modern architectural residences, creating a visually captivating and highly sought-after living environment. 

With its proximity to Melbourne’s city centre, Kooyong offers residents easy access to premier dining, shopping, and cultural experiences while maintaining a peaceful suburban ambiance. 

“Kooyong is such an eclectic enclave – where the rarity of new offerings makes this project truly a once-in-a-generation opportunity,” said AJ. 

“We’ve brought together a dream team of leading architecture and interior design professionals to bring this vision to life, ensuring every detail reflects our commitment to elegance, livability, and timeless quality — the very essence of our philosophy: enduring character to the end.”  

Construction set to commence early next year
