THE DETAIL
Entry to the apartment is via a high speed lift operated by a private ID magnetic key card. On arrival at the 8thth floor, you are greeted in the entrance hall by stunning high-gloss, high reflection features in the mirrored wall and diamond polished imported ceramic floor tiles underfoot. They are the first of many extravagances.
A fluid progression takes you past an impressive display of backlit glass cabinets to the massive open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The eye immediately moves to the north wall, past expansive lengths of moveable glass to the outstanding river and city panorama that is immediately visible, with nothing to obstruct the line of sight.
An eye-deceiving mirrored wall to the east creates the illusion of seeing reality from another perspective by cleverly reflecting the river and city images from the west.
Suspended from the building and surrounded by wrap-around glass, the full length balcony seems to project you into space high above river. Facing north/north-east, it is the ideal orientation to take advantage of natural light and wonderful views. The seamless indoor/outdoor interaction makes maximum use of Brisbane???s temperate climate, all year round??? and for those few months of extreme weather, there is the luxury of ducted air-conditioned interiors.
A rare blend of beauty, durability, efficiency and craftsmanship is created in the designer kitchen ??? superb in every detail from the granite benchtops to the full range of gleaming appliances along with a generous pantry and space a for side-by-side refrigerator.
Both the generously sized master suite and second bedroom features ceiling fans and mirrored built-in wardrobes. A custom-designed fold-out desk cleverly concealed in the built-in wardrobe is an additional highlight to the second bedroom.
Semi-frameless shower enclosures and semi-recessed two-pack vanities feature in both the ensuite and main bathroom.
