R.Iconic’s penthouses are turning heads with stunning panoramic views, along with opulent architecture and interior design by Plus Architecture and David Hicks.
The new residents of the ultra-luxurious penthouses will live an elevated lifestyle in a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home in South Melbourne’s skyline.
R.Iconic’s penthouses combine timeless design, meticulous attention to detail, and an enviable location near both the tranquil Port Phillip Bay and the vibrant Melbourne CBD and Southbank.
One of David Hick’s latest showpieces, this limited collection exemplifies the international quality of work for which he is renowned.
“The expectations that I put on myself with every project is to create something that is enduring and something that is classic, but also something that is the best thing that I’ve done.
“With every project, I’m striving to refine things so it’s always a constant evolution in my design language,” Mr Hicks explained.
Focus on design
Every element of the expansive penthouses showcases Mr. Hicks’ meticulous attention to detail, from high-end appliances to the incorporation of rich natural materials.
“The interiors are intentionally pared back to suit the vibe and personality of Melbourne while also creating a backdrop for the stunning views, allowing purchasers to incorporate their own style of furnishings and decoration,” explained Mr. Hicks.
The designs embrace a timeless aesthetic while celebrating modern living.
Timber and stone are beautifully complemented by refined metal detailing, resulting in an interior that feels both luxurious and inviting.
At the pinnacle of R.Iconic’s Premium Collection is the luxurious penthouse, which features a spiral staircase that gracefully connects the two levels of the home, accented by slanted peaked rooflines.
Entertaining is elevated by the opulent yet functional kitchen designs, which include Gaggenau appliances, a wine cabinet, a walk-in butler’s pantry, and marble benchtops.
“Purchasers at this tier demand excellence. We have ensured that the level of detail and quality surpasses their expectations, offering something that feels bespoke and enduring.
“They’ll possess a property designed to stand the test of time, both in terms of its design and quality,” said Mr. Hicks.
