Typifying refined and sophisticated elegance
Classic. East Melbourne
An exclusive enclave within the Fitzroy Gardens precinct, Classic East Melbourne encompasses three luxury residential buildings overlooking the gardens and Yarra Park.
Significantly, the development includes the restoration of the historic 1882 Mosspennoch House, which has been transformed into six prestigious apartments. Adjacent to Mosspennoch House, a seven-level building faces the Fitzroy Gardens—one of Melbourne’s most beautiful parks—and features 12 luxury apartments.
Complementing these residences is a 14-storey building, accessed via Wellington Parade, which incorporates 51 apartments with spectacular views towards Yarra Park and the iconic MCG. The architecture of the new buildings is rhythmic, delineated by grid-like frames. Within these frames, deep balconies with glass balustrades visually correlate with the floor-to-ceiling glazing, creating a calm and restrained presence.

The interior design for the entire development continues the classical contemporary theme. A neutral base palette of high-quality, natural materials enables residents to tailor their own homes to personal preferences, while still typifying a refined and sophisticated elegance.
