Raw concrete walls match shadow line ceilings, feature internal crittall-style doors, expanses of hero muntin windows in sleek black steel. Moody charcoal sheers billow in the breeze and are drawn to reveal views out across old Kingston, Telstra Tower, and the encircling mountains.
Laneways host art installations lending a distinct Melbournian feel, combined with a sleek Sydney industrial edge. Caf?s, yoga studios, bike shop and boutique businesses front the village square, where public tables foster community and capture a leafy sunshine. There is a winning combo of dynamism, playfulness and relaxed quiet at the Kingsborough Village, where sumptuous architecturally designed buildings are embedded in a wonderful urban lifestyle, encircled by the peace of parklands, wetlands, and Lake Burley Griffin.
Tucked away on one corner of the village square, The Woolstore building is all handsome steel framed and arched glass walls, combined with red recycled brick. Paying homage to the industrial past of the site you would be forgiven for thinking the building was re-purposed, instead of brand spanking new. The earthy textures of raw concrete, Corten steel and recycled timbers are a feast for the senses, all combined with modern passive design and rooftop gardens for connectivity.
Light floods the central breezeway as a forest of tree ferns reach skyward and a sleek stainless-steel lift whisks you to the third floor. Once inside it is all muted, industrial chic with a swell of north-western light. We love the midnight black galley style kitchen and combined dining, with open shelving for chosen objects, banks of drawers and cabinets, including full-height pantry and an industrial play of copper and black piping. A wall of full height glazing- all glossy metal and glass panes - extends the social hub to both private living and master bedroom, both with gorgeous sunset views.
The sophisticated urban vibe continues to the principal bedroom, as twin industrial pendants softly illuminate, and a wall of dark mirrored robes take care of storage. The second bedroom is nicely sequestered on the opposing side, with direct access to a two-way family bathroom, which also offers easy access via the kitchen. Both ensuite and family bathroom share a concordant natural materiality as mosaic tiling meets artisan textured concrete.
This unique locale is rooted within the historic and energetic soul of old Kingston and Manuka, just moments from the Lake and the cultural buildings that hug its shores. Enviably positioned close to the flashy Kingston Foreshore, Kingsborough offers a unique peaceful village lifestyle, steeped in community values. Local offerings include a bike shop, yoga studio, massage therapist, caf?, hairdresser, and boutique gym AEQUUS Fitness. It is a short stroll to old Kingston where the new shopping precinct and eateries combine with iconic favourites - Penny University, Bittersweet, The Caribou, Bus Depot Markets and Canberra Glassworks. There are scenic paths through Jerrabomberra Wetlands and out to the Dairy Rd Precinct, home to Capital Brewing Co and an array of independent businesses. With easy access to transport, choice of public and private schools, the home, is also just a stone's throw from Capital Hill and the CBD.
