The flowing lines and curvilinear forms of Gem Apartments at Waterline Place were designed by the architectural team at celebrated Elenberg Fraser as a nod to the “billowing sails of yachts catching the wind” and acknowledgement of Williamstown’s deep connection to Melbourne’s maritime history.
The result is a spectacular building, with interiors to match, set to welcome residents likely as soon as mid-year – and with a display apartment now open for inspection.
Gem, named as a reference to Gem Pier, which once welcomed boats returning to shore, has interiors also designed by Elenberg Fraser.
That team, with a clear vision of what it wanted to deliver, stated:
“In a world that tends towards generic, Gem is focused on the specific and bespoke. We’re interested in giving people genuine options to customise their home.”
That vision has given Gem full-length balconies and light-filled interiors, with walls of full-height windows in living rooms and bedrooms.
The remaining apartments have stunning views towards the Williamstown streetscape.
Living at Gem means enjoying the luxury of space, with a range of floor plan options to meet lifestyle needs.
Elegant materials and a rich textural palette have been employed in every room, with impeccable detailing such as the use of stone and customised fixtures and fittings.
Kitchen are impressive in size and style, catering for daily use and with equal weight given to entertainment. Each has high-end appliances and expansive benches; butler’s pantries on selected floorplans.
Some main bedroom suites feature an additional walk-through room by the bedroom and a wardrobe with ample storage.
The bathrooms are private sanctuaries, with chic herringbone-patterned tiling and smart storage; dual basins and large tub are options.
Gem’s generous terraces, making the most of Williamstown’s famed outdoor lifestyle, come with greenery-filled planter boxes.
Indoor life at Gem promises luxury and comfort, but its location signals an abundant outdoor life, as well.
Just about everything alluring about Williamstown is on the doorstep – beach, trendy dining, top schools, trains, buses and shopping.
And all this is just nine kilometres from the city.
