K1’s leafy green and lush vertical neighbourhood offer an enviable way of living that is luxurious, expansive and new to Melbourne. With graceful, organic shapes, natural warm materials, luxe interiors and spacious garden balconies, DE atelier architects have created three-bedroom houses in the sky where nothing is sacrificed and where there is space for everyone and everything in your life.
Our task was to illustrate how these "forests in the sky" integrate seamlessly with luxurious interiors and breathtaking 360° views.
We focused on conveying the organic beauty of the greenery, blending with the curved garden terraces to create an intimate yet expansive oasis. The result is a visual narrative that captures the grandeur of K1’s sky homes and their deep connection to nature, offering a lush, elevated living experience.
Internally, the base of the building provides amenity spaces for residents and guests including a recreation level overlooking tropical landscaping. The cafe with its distinctive timber roof and the forest-like facade elements brings an additional scale to the arrangement.
The curved form and delicate articulation of the curtain wall contrast the rigid and rectilinear massing of the neighbouring commercial and residential developments. This allows the new building to stand apart as an urban landmark and also to provide a soft interface with the surrounding built environment.
Moody tones, sunlight, French oak, and prestigious appointments work together with originality and impressive functionality. Perfect details, such as a desk suspended from the ceiling, rose gold tapware and curved garden terraces make these homes very special. K1’s elegant and sophisticated interiors are generous in size, light-filled and take advantage of the 360° uninterrupted views.
