Oakridge ready launch of Pavilion The Residences, Upper Mount Gravatt apartment development
Oakridge Property Group is gearing up for the launch of its Upper Mount Gravatt apartment development, Pavilion The Residences.
Pavilion The Residences, alongside Mimosa Creek nature reserve, encompasses three five-level pavilion-style buildings, which are set to replace a two-storey residence currently occupying the site.
Pavilion The Residences will home 144 apartments with a diverse range of configurations. There are 52 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom, and 20 three-bedroom units.
Oakridge enlisted MAS Architecture Studio to craft the design for the Pavilion, employing a sub-tropical aesthetic marked by profound balcony overhangs and strategic fenestration—prioritising solar aspect, orientation, and harmonious integration with the natural surroundings. Louvred screens on west-facing sides not only filter sunlight but also ensure privacy for residents.
Towers one and three, located along the south and north boundaries, have mostly rectangular shapes. The central tower, aligned with the west boundary, is mainly square.
"Our apartments are actually quite shallow in their designs, but have expansive windows, which will let light penetrate well into the apartments and also allow air to circulate not only within the apartments but also within the corridors of the buildings as well," Nick Simmons, director of MAS Architecture Studio said.
Simmons said that the process for Pavilion has been very collaborative with interior design studio Corner iD and the landscape architect "to make sure our design is holistically gelled together as one entire piece."
"The interior elements actually reflect some of the architectural elements – the texture and materials. The timber and the lightness of those materials are all reflected on the inside as well as the out."
The heart of the home, the Smeg-equipped kitchen features stone bench tops and hybrid timber floors, while the adjoining living and dining areas feature recessed downlights. The apartments also have ducted air-conditioning and an audio-visual intercom.
Pavilion The Residences also includes exclusive amenities including a landscaped central courtyard which will be used as a common recreation space. That will feature barbecue facilities and a swimming pool which will sit between each towers lobby.
Pavilion The Residences is strategically located less than 15 minutes from Brisbane's CBD, with easy access to major transport hubs like the M1 and Brisbane Metro.
Oakridge has partnered with local builder developer CS Development Group for the project. The first stage to hit the market will be the Hibiscus Residences.
