Low Rise multi-residential development

Boutique low-rise apartment architecture in Melbourne's south-east, by Chadwick Architects + Interiors

Project Overview

Ulupna Road Ormond Apartments is a low-rise multi-residential development designed by Chadwick Architects + Interiors, a Melbourne apartment design architect specialising in considered, resident-focused housing. Currently in the Design Development stage, the project delivers approximately 3,500 m² of net saleable area (NSA) across four levels of bespoke apartments with a single level of basement car parking.

The scheme shows how thoughtful apartment design can add to an established Melbourne suburb. Ormond is a well-connected, leafy pocket of Glen Eira, close to Ormond Station, local shops and quality schools. The development gives owner-occupiers, downsizers and investors a new housing option in a sought-after location.

Design Approach

A masonry architecture that belongs to Ormond. Masonry is the defining material of the building. Its texture, depth and tonal richness give the façade a timeless quality, and it responds to the established character of Ormond's streetscape. Rather than imposing an off-the-shelf design, Chadwick Architects has shaped a contemporary building that sits comfortably alongside its neighbours and will age well.

Bespoke apartments, not repeated templates. Each apartment is individually considered, with attention to layout efficiency, natural light, cross-ventilation, outlook and privacy. This reflects the practice's approach to apartment design in Melbourne: homes that are practical to live in and desirable to own.

Simple, resident-friendly planning. A central lift and stair core gives every resident convenient access from the basement car park to their front door. The compact core also keeps circulation efficient, which supports good apartment planning and a clear, legible arrangement across all four levels.
