The Penthouses
These huge homes have northern and western outlooks over the harbour and city. They boast three bedrooms, study, media room and casual and formal dining, with sitting areas focused on the view. Ranging from 300m2 to 475m2, three of the 14 penthouses have a superb, manicured lawn, which provides a soothing outlook and large outdoor play space. 6 of the penthouses have an incredible north and west aspect. Contemporary lanai provide indoor/outdoor living opening onto decks. Views of Hobson Bay, over to Devonport and Paratai Drive make these apartments absolutely unique.
Residences
These are hardly standard apartments – at 150m2 they provide a two-bedroom and media room/study configuration with separate library. There’s a choice of two kitchen designs, one of which features a huge scullery and unique double-sided hob cooking station. The Peninsula has three lift lobbies, accessing the maximum of two apartments per floor. Penthouses, of course, have exclusivity. All lobbies have huge windows. Car parking is included in your apartment price, as is generous storage. Yes, the Peninsula is dogfriendly.
Design
Designed by Hulena Architects, the exterior has been carefully considered to be as maintenance-free as possible. Using the latest in technological advances to create a long-lasting, low maintenance facade – a soffit of engineered wood reflects the wood look with porcelain ‘marble’ decking beneath, softening the structure and creating contrast against the large format porcelain sandstone tiles used as cladding. Contemporary verandas provide a place to shelter from the heat of summer, or a downpour, as you contemplate the moody views of the harbour.
