ASPIRATIONAL ARCHITECTURE

It’s about creating quality spaces inside and out, thoroughly dedicated to achieving a timeless and sophisticated setting for a cosmopolitan and comfortable lifestyle.

Elegant facades at Orby rise from the richly landscaped grounds displaying an impressive palette of materials with natural stone, steel, glass, brick finishes, copper, terracotta and timber combining in a symphony of protruding and recessed walls, cantilevered balconies and large overhanging roof planes, the result is an exceptional architectural character that flows throughout the development providing a sophisticated living environment. The scale and layout of the buildings promote a high level of privacy as promenades merge with cobbled pathways that lead to peaceful courtyards and garden areas, creating a network of “mini-communities” within the development.

Each building is resolved to incorporate high levels of daylight through the large windows and glass fronted balconies that frame pleasant views of the surrounding architecture, courtyards, gardens and landscaped streetscapes below. Most apartments are dual aspect and there is a maximum of five apartments per landing which contributes to the sense of privacy.

In addition, the impact of cars on-site has been significantly reduced by the provision of undercroft / basement car parking throughout the development, so that the outside spaces offer a garden-like feeling throughout the development.
