The architect of this outstanding apartment was Sir Roy Grounds. Sir Roy Grounds was recognised as one of Australia's leading architects of the modern movement, post World War 11.
Over a ten year period from 1959-1969 he designed five residential buildings in Canberra and a number of other buildings the most famous of these, the Australian Academy of Science. His unique style and approach to design was recognised by RAIA Canberra chapter's award (1957) and the Sulman [q.v.12] award (1959) and which, in 1984, was nominated for the international register of significant twentieth-century architecture.
A distinct style of this architect was his approach to design that fused living and dining areas, minimising passage ways.
These elements are apparent in this unique property, effectively using space to optimise the dining and living areas of the apartment as well as to provide a feeling of openness that is experienced from the upper mezzanine level also.
Shards of light find their way to all areas of the living spaces through 5 metre high timber sliding doors that allow a perfect fusion between inside and out.
A beautiful outdoor garden courtyard and a majestic setting make this a rare opportunity in such a prime location so close to the parliamentary triangle and the Manuka precinct.
Securing this apartment will be something special for the right person, a lifestyle purchase that will be a decision based on making a statement about your future and long term happiness!
