Thirty Anderson

Thirty Anderson is a boutique multi-residential development delivering luxury living across three large-scale residences within a coveted pocket of South Yarra. The architecture and interior design were driven by a desire to live calmly, from the open, sculptural, and light-filled spaces to the ever-present connections with nature.

The penthouse design is unique, capturing space and light at an unprecedented scale. The living room, with ceilings 3.6m high and expansive glazing, enjoys abundant natural light and sky views. The penthouse also includes a rooftop terrace with a pool, outdoor dining and living, sun lounges, and cooking facilities that offer an experience equivalent to a private resort.

For the mid-level apartment, roof windows bring light and space within, while residents also enjoy views towards the treeline of the Botanic Gardens. Beneath, the ground floor apartment delivers a more direct relationship with nature, connecting seamlessly to a private garden.

The graceful lines of the exterior and the sculptural design of the interiors feature curved walls that allow light to travel easily. Steel-framed glass doors soften transitions and enhance the volumes of spaces that feel both generous and enveloping.

The material selection connects visually with the natural world outside, such as in the richly-veined natural stone or the textures of the polished plaster walls. Lush rugs and flowing fabrics introduce softness, while the timber flooring laid in a plank style is finished in hard wax oil to heighten its organic, earthy quality.

Even within its tightly held urban context, the design was carefully considered to connect residents to greenery—whether a private garden or views to the stately treelines of Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens—and ultimately to encourage a life lived more mindfully.
