An exciting opportunity to create a strong benchmark for future developments in the Oakleigh South area.

The proposed multi-residential development was designed to make a significant contribution to the public realm and surrounding Oakleigh South neighbourhood. A high-quality, contemporary architectural expression with sensitivity to its context was the driving force behind the design. Importance was placed on sincere engagement of the surrounding community by providing public ‘pocket’ parks for community enjoyment.

The project was designed to encourage pedestrian movement through the site, giving a strong connection to the surrounding street network. The site at Golf Rd is situated within the suburb of Oakleigh South, and is bordered by Metropolitan Golf Course, Bakers Road and Beryl Ave. Its immediate surrounding is predominantly single - double storey homes. It is located just 3kms from Huntingdale Train Station, with local bus routes along Golf Rd. Oakleigh South is a well-known suburb in Melbourne with desirable amenity and lifestyle offerings. The tree-lined streets and surrounding parklands are a well-known feature within the area. There is a high level of variation between commercial and residential amenity, of which the subject site sits within the midst of both.

The immediate conventional suburban surrounds, and proximity to a variety of local amenity and recreational facilities, such as the Metropolitan Golf Course and local schools, create excellent conditions for a new community-driven residential development.
