1405/20 Festival Place, Newstead

Living and dining run the width of the glass line, where floor to ceiling double glazing frames a outlook across Newstead with glimpses of the river. The space opens onto a 13 square metre balcony that can be used year round. At the centre of the plan, the kitchen's stone island bench faces the living area so whoever is cooking stays part of the room, with an integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge, Miele dishwasher and built in bin set within the joinery.

The two bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the plan, so neither shares a wall or a bathroom. The main bedroom has a new wardrobe and walk in robe beside its ensuite, and the second is generous enough to work as a true guest suite, with its own ensuite and shower. Off the kitchen, a separate multi room works as a home office, guest space or storage.

The renovation goes well beyond the cosmetic. Every standard light and switch has been replaced with a bespoke, gallery-style scheme, including pendant lighting, dedicated art lighting sourced from the Britomart Hotel in New Zealand, LED track lighting to each window, and recessed smoke detectors and frameless air vents for an uncluttered ceiling. All internal hardware, kitchen handles and shower heads have been replaced in brass to match the tapware, the paintwork is colour-flooded throughout, and linen sheer and blackout curtains dress the windows. Air-conditioning has been upgraded with touch screen, app-controlled panels, both bedrooms have ceiling fans, and the second bathroom has upgraded ventilation.

Entry is keyless, with app access to the building and a biometric lock to the apartment door. One secure car space completes the plan, and a storage cage is available.

The 27 storey tower by Cavcorp, crowned by the Longevity Rooftop has more than 1,200 square metres of resident amenity. A 35 metre heated infinity pool with a glass bottom runs the length of the rooftop, framed by palms and sun loungers. Alongside it sits a Technogym fitness centre with a 12 metre turf track and reformer Pilates, a thermal suite with two glazed saunas, a steam room and magnesium spa baths, two alfresco kitchens with barbecues and a formal dining room for private functions. With on-site building management, it is an easy place to lock up and leave.

You buy the position here as much as the apartment.
