Boutique City Apartment with Iconic Mountain Views

I’ve always found joy in life’s simple moments—whether it’s exploring new places, meeting interesting people, or just enjoying the company of animals. Travel has opened my eyes to different cultures and experiences, reminding me how much there is to learn from the world around us. No matter where I go, I try to approach life with kindness, curiosity, and a sense of adventure.

Animals have always been a source of comfort and connection for me. Whether it’s helping a stray find its way home or simply enjoying the quiet companionship of a pet, I appreciate the honesty and warmth they bring. I believe in treating people with the same patience and respect, making every interaction a chance to brighten someone’s day. Life, to me, is about creating meaningful connections, embracing new experiences, and making the most of every moment.

Boutique City Apartment with Mountain Views offers a perfect balance between urban convenience and natural beauty. From the balcony, you can take in sweeping views of Canberra’s skyline, with the majestic Black Mountain rising in the distance. By day, the city buzzes with life, and by night, the twinkling lights create a stunning backdrop for a relaxing evening.

What I love most about the area is its vibrant energy combined with a sense of serenity. The best cafés, restaurants, and cultural attractions are just a short stroll away, making it easy to explore and indulge. Yet, with the mountains on the horizon and green spaces nearby, there’s always a peaceful escape when you need it. Whether sipping coffee as the sun rises over the city or unwinding in the evening with mountain views, this apartment offers the best of both worlds—sophisticated city living with a touch of nature’s charm.

The residential building’s exterior is an interlocking geometric structure constructed from off-form and pre-cast concrete. It comprises 220 apartments which, at the time of construction, were considered to be the most sustainable in Australia, achieving an average NatHERS rating of 8 stars.
Nishi’s integrated 400 kW photovoltaic panel array was designed for expansion, giving apartment owners the flexibility to install individual solar capacity. The building incorporated low energy fixtures and fittings, lighting that responds to available daylight, and rooftop solar thermal collectors providing for 60% of domestic hot water demand.
The central full-height (10-story) atrium and high performance operable façade maximise natural ventilation and light. Exposed concrete soffits provide thermal mass to stabilise internal temperatures and utilise free night-time cooling. The high efficiency underfloor displacement cooling system is capable of providing free cooling to the building for a significant portion of the year.
Nishi’s residential apartments use a dual aspect configuration to maximise natural light, views, and cross-ventilation. During winter, apartments are passively solar heated for at least 3 to 4 hours each day and efficient hydronic radiators provide additional heating during the coldest parts of the year. This design maximises environmental performance almost exclusively through passive design, mostly eliminating the need for artificial cooling.
The internal atrium is populated with Antarctica dicksonia ferns salvaged from Tasmanian forests destined for deforestation.
