3 HIVE S FINELY APPOINTED DESIGNER RESIDENCES ARE A DEDICATION TO THORNBURY: MELBOURNE S NEW CREATIVE HEART. Pairing a singular vision for living with luxe-minimalist interiors, Hive buzzes with the energy of a premium location - so close to the cafes and creative pop-up culture of the north, to its old school produce markets, quirky high street shopping and the comforting ring of the number 86 tram. Imagined by Rothelowman and realised by Chamberlain Architects in response to Thornbury s natural capacity for reinvention, each of the 66 carefully-finished one, two and three bedroom Hive apartments offer a sense of calm luxury across their flowing, bright floorplans. Beautiful to the eye and sensuous to the touch, each Hive residence enjoys twinkling urban vistas, generous living zones, private balconies, opulent kitchens, resortinspired bathrooms and secure parking. Attuned to your individual aesthetic, Hive apartments are available in two chiaroscuro palettes, each imbued with elegant combe motifs awaiting your discovery. A future classic of Melbourne s north, Hive represents a new wave of architecture, immediately recognisable with a striking tessellated exterior complimented by soaring lines of shadow and light. A commitment to creativity, to a new way of living: the Hive is yours to join.

4 THORNBURY S There s something so intrinsically Melbourne about Thornbury. A nostalgic neighbourhood at the heart of our city s creative reimagining, Thornbury has always attracted those seeking to lay down their roots and contribute to something bigger. Nestled just north of the CBD, Thornbury offers a vibrant combination of heritage homes and modern architecture, cafés and fine dining, pop-up everything, lush parklands and quirky high street shopping. First surveyed by Robert Hoddle in 1837, Thornbury has developed from a humble market garden township by the Merri Creek into the most coveted locale of the inner-north. Well-serviced by trams, trains, schools and hospitals, Thornbury is the best of Australia in a microcosm: a community diverse in age and ethnicity, living and working together in a way that honors our history.
