*Selected Residences

The building features over 20kw of solar panels connected to a cutting-edge SolShare system to deliver solar power and lower energy bills to each residence whilst helping the environment.

Orientation, insulation and environmentally intelligent design combine to retain heat in winter and stay cool in summer. Energy ratings of up to 8.4 stars means Hotham Hill residences use ~90% less energy than a typical uninsulated house built in 1990. All residences feature dual aspects for cross ventilation.

Naturally ventilated lobbies with leafy plantings and large landscaped gardens give a sense of openness. Select residences feature views towards rich tree canopies and Royal Park.

Rainwater is harvested in a common water tank located under the basement floor. Captured rainwater is then re-used for garden irrigation along with toilet cistern flushing to reduce water use. Water efficient appliances, tapware and sanitary fixtures are specified throughout.

All residences feature double glazing throughout. Designed with two panes of glass with an air pocket in between, these windows provide a higher level of thermal comfort and acoustic performance.

Energy efficient appliances, high performance LED lighting, and modern, resource-conserving fixtures and fittings save energy and water, contributing to lower bills and reduced carbon emissions.

The secure basement houses at-grade car spaces and storage. Selected residences also feature a lockup double garage. Unlike other residences, there are no car stackers or car lifts.

A state-of-the-art pedestrian gate with facial recognition grants owners access to the landscaped private pathway leading to a beautiful lobby.

Easy lift access allows owners to seamlessly traverse from the basement or lobby to their floor. Selected residences also enjoy their own private street access via a gated, landscaped terrace.

A modern video intercom system secures the pedestrian access path. In addition to the indoor wall monitor, mobile phone connectivity allows residents the option to remotely grant lobby access to visitors, and for deliveries.

Gently sloping pathways, lift access and wide corridors allow access to residents and visitors of all abilities.

Landscaped entrances, large private gardens and generous balconies surround the building, and feature a tailored blend of hearty and native planting that is easy to maintain and verdant all year round.
