The Design

Designed by Harry Seidler, AC OBE and completed in 1967, Arlington is a standout example of International Style architecture in Sydney, demonstrating Seidler’s commitment to modernist principles. The building is externally defined by its artistic façade, with patterned projections and recessions that modulate light and shadow throughout the day. The understated design embraces Seidler’s focus on integration with the surrounding environment, with considered windows framing the view that connect each apartment to some of Sydney’s most iconic views.

The apartment is positioned on the north-east top corner of the taller of the two blocks of Arlington. Set within heritage gardens, variations in fenestration reflect the functions of the room within, following the Modernist dictum of “form follows function”. The emergent pattern reflects the compositional artworks of Josef & Anni Albers with interlocking horizontal features establishing a tonal grid system.

A five minute walk to Edgecliff Station, this blue-chip location is perfect for the city commuter who enjoys spending weekends outdoors. Conveniently close to the Eastern Suburbs beaches or Sydney’s pristine inner-harbour bays (Murray Rose Pool, Neilson Park, Parsley Bay, Watsons Bay, Camp Cove, and Lady Bay). Sydney’s main airport is twenty minutes by car, or thirty by train. However there isn’t much reason to leave the regions, with the surrounding suburbs of Double Bay, Paddington and Surry Hills boasting some of the most active and diverse cultural opportunities around including dining, entertainment, and retail.

The apartment includes two undercover car spaces with an estimated rental value of $1,000/month. The building includes dedicated guest parking.
