Located within the hub of Melbourne's CBD, Istana is a modest sized apartment located within a 24 storey multi-residential building. The apartment truly embodies a modern Australian design style, celebrating the nation's essence. Istana - meaning 'Palace' - is just that for its occupants - a place of sanctuary, safety and comfort.
The colours of the Australian bush were reflected throughout the apartment, subtly injecting the colours seen on many of their Australian golfing trips. Creating a relaxing and soothing interior ambience for the high rise Melbourne CBD penthouse.
A strong emphasis was placed upon sourcing locally designed and locally made finishes throughout. Bespoke pieces of furniture and soft furnishings have been selected from well known Australian designers, such as Jardan, Zuster, and Deep in the Woods. With every interior element representing Australian brands, craftsmanship, manufacturing and design, the apartment is a reflection of the spirit of Australia. It is the true embodiment of a contemporary Australian design aesthetic. This bold statement of vibrancy injects a fresh and contemporary finish against a clean backdrop. This design is truly synonymous with a modern Australian lifestyle.
