Atop an already thriving apartment community in Sydney’s verdant and bushy Hills District, developer Mulpha is tempting buyers with penthouses that spare no luxury.
The Norwest Quarter development is split into two buildings, Lacebark and Banksia, and it’s on the upper floors of the latter 23-storey building that you’ll find these penthouses, each capturing scenic views of the Blue Mountains and Parramatta.
The spacious floorplates cover over 200 square metres and are defined by long corridors that separate private rooms from the flowing living, dining and outdoor spaces – perfect for entertaining.
“The kitchen is an important part of any home,” says Richard Archer, principal at Archer Design, the architecture firm behind the Banksia penthouses. “The main island bench is over three metres long and is the central pivotal point of the entertainment area.”
The penthouses are simultaneously capacious and cosy, with a central double-sided fireplace creating an inviting space in which to spend time. The homes’ tranquillity is enhanced by linen-look wallpaper, natural marble and stone, and light oak timber flooring.
Adding to the homes’ form is their functionality, with storage prioritised by Archer Design.
For example, this will probably not be the residents’ first home, Archer says, so “they have to have places to put their linens and towels and things for when the grandchildren come to visit”.
The luxuries of Norwest Quarter don’t end at the penthouse threshold. Outside, a 12-metre heated lap pool provides a chance to cool off and keep fit, while bookable poolside cabanas and a kids’ wading pool offer opportunities to relax alone or with the family.
Elsewhere, entertaining at scale is made easy with a bookable private function space.
“We’ve got a separate lounge area and large dining area that residents can book to host their own functions,” says Andrew Nichols, general manager, development at Mulpha .
Norwest Quarter prioritises community, and Mulpha has created plenty of opportunities for residents to come together, including a garden of native flora, herbs and veggies that surrounds communal barbecue facilities.
“We’ve also got a really large residents’ lounge area,” Nichols says. “There’s a big dining table, a large-screen TV, and kitchen facilities.”
For those who’d rather not work from home in their penthouse, separate workstations in the residents’ lounge allow them to plug in for the day without the commute.
Sustainability is also front and centre at Norwest Quarter. The entire development, including on-site retail and hospitality, is electric powered, and residents can book an electric vehicle from a fleet of five for an eco-friendly errand run. Charging stations are also available for residents who already own an electric car.
Access to open space is as important as the high-quality materials within the penthouses. There’s a Wild Green children’s play area, abundant landscaping and connection to walking trails, playgrounds and the area’s green spaces.
Norwest Quarter is also seamlessly connected to local amenities like Norwest Lake, Castle Hill Country Club and Norwest Quarter Retail, with restaurants and cafes sitting on its doorstep.
