Hawthorn Bond

Nestled within Auburn Village in the tree-lined suburb of Hawthorn is newcomer Hawthorn Bond. This stunning low-rise apartment, designed by One Design Office architects, gives a reverent nod to the area’s rich industrial past. It accomplishes this feat by making thoughtful use of the historical Hawthorn black brick that is normally associated with luxury Victorian homes.

Housing 31 residences spread across four levels, Hawthorn Bond offers both one and two-bedroom apartments. The building dons a facade that celebrates the neighbourhood’s local heritage whilst defining itself as a portrait of timeless appeal, incorporating a multitude of textures and colours taken from a series of brown, white, and black palettes and bold cubic forms.

Apartments on the upper levels will enjoy picturesque views of surrounding suburbs, city vistas, and Central Gardens. In order to keep apartment prices down, a conscious effort was made to not include onsite communal areas. That being said, Hawthorn Bond is close in proximity to a wide range of amenities and conveniences.

Designers approached the creation of interiors with contemporary comfort and practical living in mind. Intelligently designed spaces and creative use of pastel coloured tiles are just some of the elements that feature throughout. Timber floors act to soften concrete ceilings, whilst the use of natural materials delivers sophisticated living that pays homage to history.

With natural finishes throughout, Hawthorn Bond boasts Smeg appliances in the kitchens, Australian hardwood flooring, and is ideal for anyone demanding comfort and luxury without the million-dollar price tag.
