First look: Carbone unveil latest Windsor apartment development, Amado
The Carbone family have been developing new apartments across inner-city Brisbane for the best part of two decades.
Their latest development might be their best one yet.
Carbone Developments, led by brothers Tony and Don Carbone, has unveiled Amado, just 30 large-scale apartments across a six-level building in the inner-north suburb of Windsor, a suburb that's close to their hearts.
Amado is the fourth apartment development Carbone has delivered in Windsor, and their second on the tree-lined Granston Street near Windsor Station.
The unique triple site, secured in late 2021, is home to a pre-1911, heritage-listed home which will be restored and form part of the development.
Targeting the owner-occupier, Amado is a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, and two large penthouses spread across the top level.
Amado has been designed by Brisbane locals Red Door Architecture who drew inspiration from the suburb's creeks and landscapes, as well as the surrounding vernacular houses.
Sustainability has been a key focus in Amado’s design, with allowances for solar panels on the northern portion of the roof.
The building will facilitate natural ventilation through operable windows and large sliding balcony doors, which also provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
Shading devices and balconies are incorporated to protect against heat gain while maximising natural light.
The rooftop terrace will serve as a communal space, offering residents an outdoor dining area, a raised deck, a pool, and lounges, all surrounded by greenery.
Amado is strategically located just off Lutwyche Road which runs south into Fortitude Valley. Within walking distance is several parks and Windsor Station, less than 500 metre from the front door, while HomeZone shopping centre is a five-minute drive.
Carbone Developments is a vertically integrated developer builder, meaning they have their own construction arm. They're forecasting construction completion in mid-2026.
