It's a dream to every urbanite to enjoy both the convenience of big cities and idyllic and peaceful lifestyle of countryside. But the luxurious Grande Pyrmont Bay Estate in Sydney, Australia, is such an ideal home.

Pyrmont Bay is located across the sea from the famous Sydney Opera House. Due to its close proximity to Sydney's central business district and wonderful sea views, it is a veritable back garden of the CBD. In this highly sought-after downtown area where space is at a premium, TWT, a well-known real estate developer in Sydney, has teamed up with DBI, a large design company in Australia, to create the Grande project.

Grande encompasses 11 well-designed terrace villas of varying multi-level layouts. An architectural language that’s both subtle and elegantly proportioned has resulted in dramatic, voluminous low-rise residence. Anna Goh, vice-president of DBI, stated that "the architecture of the terraces has created fantastic volumes and proportions, and the finishes are going to be exquisite."

The project has therefore been awarded “Winner of Low-rise Residential Development” by the Urban Taskforce of Australia in 2021.

Among all the villas, the Lockley Manor is the most stunning one. The villa has 5 floors above the ground and 2 floors underground. In addition to the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, the interior spaces also include home theater, underground garage, wine cellar, storage rooms, etc. Together with the terraces and the courtyard, the villa boasts a total area of over 1,200 square meters with a price as high as 18 million Australian dollars!

Upon entering, the spacious lobby and double-height ceiling enhance a strong sense of space and offers a wide-open view. The interior design from DBI references Pyrmont Bay’s history as an old industrial area at the beginning of the last century: through the extensive use of bronze, brass, and matte black metal, it offers a modern interpretation and inheritance of the area’s industrial heritage.

Meanwhile, the furniture from CAMERICH adds a touch of softness and warmth, which balances the cool feeling of the metal materials, making the space more comfortable and modern. The spacious L-shaped modular sofas in the center of the living room echo the huge abstract artwork on the wall, creating a sleek and grand interior style. A brass pendant light above the dining table adds a modern industrial vibe. The custom-cut ELBA marble tiled flooring conveys a noble and elegant sense.

In the daytime, it is a peaceful and orderly living room; when the night falls, it delivers a cozy and romantic atmosphere.

In the kitchen area, the black marble and wooden finishes create a dramatic visual impact. The pre-installed Miele oven, microwave and integrated refrigerator elevate the cooking experience, while the tall, slender bar stools around the kitchen island offer an easy-going, relaxed experience.

On the upper floor, the drawing room is decorated with emerald velvet lounge chairs; in the secondary bedroom, a two-seat blue velvet sofa, white marble coffee tables and a dark wood sideboard transform the bedroom into a romantic space for two.

Refined living details are abundant in bathrooms that feature a large area of pale marble, hand-cut countertops and brushed brass tapware.

Restrained and sophisticated, the master suite occupies the entire top floor, which is divided into bedroom, sitting room, dressing room, bathroom and terrace, providing immense privacy and security. Textured wooden walls and the warm European oak floors, soft fabric bed and velvet sofa, make the room feel emotive and inviting.

The terrace connects the private realm with the city skyline, allowing the owner to enjoy a relaxed life in a low-rise mansion amid the bustling city center.

Stepping out of the villa, all the conveniences and beauty of Pyrmont Bay are mere footsteps away: clear blue bays, peaceful parks, interesting civic spaces, historical sites, waterside restaurants, popular cafes... Just strolling by the seaside could also bring relaxation and freedom.

Grande is not only a residence; it also reflects an aspiration. It aims to touch the human history through architecture and interior decoration, to follow the pace of the city's development in one's daily life, so as to make people the best part of the city.
