As the middle-ring suburb of Box Hill, in Melbourne’s east, develops into a major activity centre, the advantages of increased density around this transport hub become increasingly apparent. Located near the train station, this development comprises a four story building with a mix of studio and one bedroom apartments. As demographics change and single-occupant households become more prevalent, apartment living near associated services, and without the need for large-scale infrastructure investment, makes more sense.
These apartments have an on-site manager’s apartment, ground floor reception and lobby, a common room for residents and provision for off-street car parking. Efficient floor plate organisation and generous glazing means these compact apartments are enjoyable and bright to live in, nestled in a leafy corner on John Street.
