The High Street Apartments is Gardiner Architects’ first high-rise multi-residential project. Located in Thornbury, Melbourne, the project is a mixed-use building, with thirteen apartments above a ground floor carpark and restaurant fronting High Street. Differing from your usual apartment development model, there was an imperative for our client to create something sustainable, robust and well-designed for the longer-term.

"BISTRO NIQ" is based on the concept of [dining that not only satisfies your stomach, but also satisfies your mind and heart] with a focus on ingredients. The configuration of "WILD & COOL" cut costs while retaining an industrial feel. We aimed to strengthen the image of a “steak restaurant” and produced a “sizzle feeling”.
