Situated in the prestigious Melbourne suburb of Kooyong, the high-end Mansard Kooyong development by architecture and design studio Carr is captivating buyers.
Despite being brand new, this project by developer BonYan RE blends seamlessly with its historic neighbors, which was a key design goal.
The development achieves this harmony through the use of grey brick, a mansard roof, and generous landscaping.
The iconic mansard roof, the design originating in 17th-century France, features two slopes on each of its four sides: a steep lower slope and a gentle upper slope.
This feature is also a perfect fit for the historic charm of Kooyong.
Developer BonYan RE opted for a low-density build, offering only 16 exclusive residences to maintain the suburb's elegant ambiance.
"The Mansard Kooyong development is distinguished by its unparalleled quality, with meticulous attention paid to every detail, from the handpicked brick façade to the overall design," explained Taylor Dow, managing director at Dow Real Estate.
"Its complex and sophisticated architectural approach ensures that all residences are bathed in natural sunlight."
"The use of high-quality construction materials and thoughtful design results in exceptionally quiet interiors, offering residents both comfort and serenity.”
Featuring iconic mansard roofs and lush landscaping, the Mansard Kooyong homes fit seamlessly into the historic Kooyong neighbourhood.
Two-bedroom homes start from $1.65m, three-bedroom from $2.35m, and there are two expansive penthouses priced from $$5.35m each.
"As construction nears completion, buyers can view the new homes in person and so far, have been left impressed.
“So far, all buyers have been owner-occupiers who appreciate and are meticulous about attention to detail,” explained Mr Dow.
“There is also significant interest from downsizers who fully understand the appeal of luxury apartment living, which makes it an ideal choice for those transitioning from larger homes without compromising on quality or comfort.”
High-end finishes with no expense spared
The interior architecture of Mansard Kooyong is as refined as the exterior, evoking a minimalist and elegant aesthetic that allows the quality fixtures and finishes to shine.
Travertine island benchtops and V-Zug appliances can be found in the kitchen, which joins the open-plan living area comprising a fireplace, travertine joinery, and hardwood timber flooring to add warmth.
The residences also have floor-to-ceiling windows that allow natural light to flow through the space, along with private wrap-around terraces for indoor-outdoor living.
Upper-level apartments also boast above-ground swimming pools with panoramic views of the surrounding suburb.
The master bedroom is one of the main showcases with wool carpets and soft drapes along with a walk-in robe and ensuite which includes a double vanity, a freestanding bathtub and an alcove shower.

Apartment living that feels independent
Carr has created an apartment offering that allows residents to maintain a level of privacy and independence they would be used to in a freestanding home.
With only 16 residences located within the building, two individual points of entry, and a secure garage space, downsizers can feel less daunted by the transition into apartment living.
Landscape design by Eckersley Garden Architecture not only helps the development blend into its leafy surrounds but has been established to encourage residents to spend time tending to their own private gardens.
Ground-floor apartments have also been fitted with ponds and water features.
Joining a well-established suburb
Kooyong is a small suburb often considered part of Toorak. Homes within the area consist of large established houses on generously sized blocks and luxury apartments.
Located within close proximity to boutique shops, prestigious schools, and public transport, it’s a sought-after Melbourne suburb according to Mr Dow.
“Residents enjoy a harmonious blend of urban accessibility and a charming local lifestyle, making Kooyong a highly desirable location,” he said.
Property is tightly held in the suburb with only one house coming onto the market last month and six units according to PropTrack data, making Mansard Kooyong a unique offering.
“As demand continues to grow, Kooyong is poised to maintain its status as an exclusive residential area, with the potential for more high-end developments that balance its heritage charm with modern sophistication,” said Mr Dow.
